mazurka

mazurka
mazurka lively dance, also mazourka, 1818, from Rus. mazurka, from Pol. mazurek "dance of the Mazur," a reference to inhabitants of Mazowsze (M.L. Mazovia), ancient region in central Poland. The Polish accusative in tanczyc mazurka "to dance the mazurek" was interpreted in Russian as a feminine affix, hence the -ka ending.
