In an article here said the term Pallasch came from a Turkish word Pala.Why people named it from Turkish?Does this type of sword from Turk?Or being influenced by Turkish swords?Or something else?

The word comes probably from the hungarian pallos and means single edged, long, heavy, broad sword. (maybe in the time after the end of the independence war in 1711, when the first hussar regiments had been formed with hungarian officiers in France, Prussia and Russia)

"Palló" is the word for a long, wide board. I don't know the origin, our other word for straight swords is "kard" has maybe something to do with the persian kard (knife).

Thank you very much！  Another question I have is when did this kind of blade come out?And did it developed by Hungarian?

I think that was not the case. It was a wide known weapon in Eastern-Europe and in West-Asia, but due to the fact mentioned above the hungarian name became common.

Believe it or not Pallasch is also a German surname. No one knows its origin but I guess it is derived from the sword's name.

In the 16th and 17th century there were lots of incursions by the Turks into Europe leading to lots of interactions between Poles, Hungarians, Austrians etc with wide spread fighting in the Ukraine and Balkans into Austria . Lots of weapons found popularity on either side. The Poles really liked the long estoc like koncerz and I am not suprised at exchanges in names for the weapons as well. The Saber itself has Turkic origins and a straight saber for heavy cavalry has been popular for a long time as well. The Pallasch specifically refers to a straight saber used by heavy cavalry.

Well I thought modern European saber is more like an European back sword become curve and have a different hilt.Some straight saber just have a back sword blade.And at the same time Turkish people did not like to use straight sword so I think it is more likely to be a name from Hungarian?

In the dictionary I use,it shows that Pala means curve sword?And by the way could the sword Pallasch be Hungarian origin?
