Etymology
Borrowed from Franco-Provençal avalançhe (Savoy), blend of aval (“downhill”) and standard lavençhe, from Vulgar Latin *labanka (compare Occitan lavanca, Italian valanga), alteration of Late Latin labina (“landslide”) (compare (Dauphiné) Franco-Provençal lavino, Romansh lavina), from Latin lābor (“to slip, slide”). See: Italian Nouns '
valanga', Latin Nouns '
lābor'.
