гаубица
Russian
Etymology
Borrowed from German Haubitze, from Old Czech haufnicě, húfnicě (“a short artillery piece designed to fire a heap of stones”) (whence modern Czech houfnice), derived from húf, hauf (“heap”), itself a borrowing from Middle High German hūfe (whence German Haufen, see further etymology there).
First attested in 1703 (predating Polish haubica), short-lived variants include гоубица (1697) and гобитц (1700). Displaced 17th-c. Middle Russian гафуница (gafunica).
