It is a german word; deriving from the common german wird 'Batzen' (lump, chunk, glob; also a historic small coin minted in Switzerland) and showing Bavarian or Austrian spelling (B->P). Batzen is derived from 'Backen' (to bake). Edit Form You may not post a new comment, because ItemID Nomenclature_Che does not match any item.
