prosek

Albanian

Etymology

Together with proseqe (“chips, chippings (from a pruned tree)”), a Slavic loanword from Proto-Slavic *prosěkъ (“kind of axe; opening, cutting (in a forest)”). Compare Bulgarian просек (prosek), Serbo-Croatian prosijek.[1]

The meaning presented in Albanian is not attested in South Slavic; a development has occurred from 'section, something cut out'.
