Etymology
بَطَّانِيَّة comes from the Arabic root ب-ط-ن (b-ṭ-n), which carries the core sense of belly, inside, or lining. The related noun بِطَانَة (biṭāna) means the lining of a garment, the layer that sits against the body. Arabic extended this idea to the blanket, the cloth that lines and warms a person in bed. Arabic is a Semitic language, so it has no Proto-Indo-European root.
