"ぼら" meaning in Japanese

See ぼら in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: [bo̞ɾa̠] Forms: ぼら [canonical], ボラ [canonical], bora [romanization], ぼら [hiragana, historical]
Etymology: Unknown. Japanese dictionaries do not indicate when this term first appears in text. Monolingual sources speculate that this may be from some element ho ("fat") + 腹 (hara, “belly”), but there is no solid evidence for any ho element with this meaning; the closest by sound is 頬 (ho, “cheek”, from ancient popo), and the closest by meaning is 太 (futo, “fatness”, from ancient puto). The same fish name has suggestive overlap with Sahidic Coptic ⲃⲱⲣⲉ (bōre), Bohairic Coptic ⲫⲟⲣⲓ (phori) and ϥⲟⲣⲓ (fori), whence its modern Arabic name بُورِي (būrī).
