"bulla" meaning in Latin

See bulla in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: [ˈbʊl.la] [Classical-Latin], [ˈbul.la] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical), [ˈbʊl.laː] [Classical-Latin], [ˈbul.la] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: Uncertain; possibly from Gaulish [Term?], from Proto-Indo-European *bew- (“swelling”), same source as Middle Dutch puyl (“bag”) and Lithuanian bule (“buttocks”), or from *bʰel- (“to blow, to swell up”). Ultimately onomatopoeic, similar to Ancient Greek βολβός (bolbós, “bulb”).
