масив? I had a similar experience wondering what this thing is when I first heard this. I wonder what the etymology is.

Python dicts seem to be „асоциативен масив“ but „речник“ is also acceptable, so at least that's understandable.

Precisely. I truly have no idea how it's made it's way into CS, but I suspect it has to do with:

> Голямо пространство, заето от еднородни предмети. Горски масиви.

It's probably from the Russian CS.
