baffle (W3)
Das Wort engl. "baffle" kommt sowohl als Verb als auch als Substantiv vor.Das Verb engl. "baffle" (1540) bedeutet dt. "jemanden verwirren", "verblüffen", "narren", "täuschen", "jemandem ein Rätsel aufgeben".
Das Substantiv engl. "baffle" (1861), ("baffle plate") bedeutet dt. "Prall...", "Ablenkplatte", "Dämpfer", "Dampfsperre", "Fangklappe", "Lautsprecher", "Leitblech", "Leitwand", "Prallblech", "Prallfläche", "Prallplatte", "Schallwand", "Schlagleiste", "Schöpfblech", "Schutzschirm", "Schwallblech", "Stauscheibe", "Stoßplatte", "Streulichtblende", "Trennscheibe", "Umlenkblech".
Die Herkunft beider Wörter ist nicht mehr nachvollziehbar. Alle Erklärungsversuche laufen jedoch auf eine lautmalerische Herkunft hinaus. Und so könnte ein schott. "bauchle" eine Verbindung zu altfrz. "bafouer" und entfernt verwandt sein mit dt. "baff", "paff", "bah", "pah". Das dt. "baff sein" wird ebenfalls auf das Geräusch beim Schuß eines Jägers zurück geführt, das den Jagdhund - oder auch Menschen in der Umgebung - verwirren kann. Der lautmalerische Charakter dürfte auch in der Bedeutung dt. "Prall-", "Prell-", "Prallblech", ..., zu Grunde liegen.

Origin of "baffle"
1540-1550; 1910-15 for def 8; perhaps from Scots "bauchle" = "to disgrace", "treat with contempt", equivalent "to bauch" (see "baff") + "-le"
(E?)(L?) http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=baffle
"baffle" (v.), 1540s, "to disgrace", of uncertain origin. Perhaps a Scottish respelling of "bauchle" = "to disgrace publicly" (especially a perjured knight), which is probably related to French "bafouer" = "to abuse", "hoodwink" (16c.), possibly from "baf", a natural sound of disgust, like "bah" (compare German "baff machen" = "to flabbergast"). The original sense is obsolete. Meaning "defeat someone's efforts, frustrate by interposing obstacles or difficulties" is from 1670s. Related: "Baffled"; "baffling".
"baffle" (n.), "shielding device," especially in a stove or oven, 1881 (short for "baffle-plate"), from "baffle" (v.). Earlier in the same sense was "baffler" (1861).

Als "baffles" werden zuallererst "Stellwände" bezeichnet, die auf der Tonbühne dazu dienen, den Ton zu dämpfen, die Echo-Effekte zu dämpfen und so den Raumeindruck zu verändern. Dazu wird neben Stoffen inzwischen eine ganze Reihe von Plastikstoffen verwendet. Manchmal werden auch Mikrofon-Hüllen, die zu diesem Zweck der Tonbeeinflussung dienen, zu den "baffles" gerechnet.
