বাতিক শব্দটির উৎপত্তি কোন শব্দ থেকে ?
The word "batik" is Javanese in origin. It may either come from the Javanese word "amba" ('to write') and "titik" ('dot'), or may derive from a hypothetical Proto-Austronesian root "*beCík" ('to tattoo'). The word is first recorded in English in the Encyclopædia Britannica of 1880, in which it is spelled "battik". It is attested in the Indonesian Archipelago during the Dutch colonial period in various forms: "mbatek", "mbatik", "batek" and "batik".
