TIL that in English puttee comes from the Hindi paṭṭī meaning bandage or long strip of cloth. Портянка, of course, comes from ” пъртъ” meaning “a strip of cloth”. Want to bet there’s the same proto-Indo-European word hiding in there somewhere for both?
Despite the fact that they look exactly the same, puttees are worn differently than портянки, and are more properly translated as онучи or обмотки.
