Description

Vasmer's Etymological Dictionary claims that the word is borrowed from Polish papieros for "cigarette", where it is a portmanteau word "papier-" ("paper") + "-ros", the tail of "cigarros"."папироса" in Vasmer's Etymological Dictionary

The inner end of the mouthpiece is cut into dents which are bent to keep tobacco from travelling into the mouth. Modern papirosy can also contain a filter inside the mouthpiece. МЕЖГОСУДАРСТВЕННЫЙ СТАНДАРТ. ПАПИРОСЫ. Общие технические условия
