    It means:
    1)"grandmother" in Russian.
    2) Could be a respectful term for "an old lady".
    3) A type of scarf.

    It litterally means grandmother.
    Some languages use this term for the Russian national dolls.

    I think Babushka means Grandmother in Russian or something. Either that or it's some time of European pastry.

    Frisky woman. I think the word comes from polish,only then the word would be written as ''babuśka''. (english pronunciation is like the one you wrote)
