Folklore
Inför Rusalii- den rumänska pingsten – har barnen fått skollov. I skolan samlas i stället en utvald grupp av byns bästa dansare. Dom kallas Calusari och deras uppgift är att dansa så att byn får god skörd, skydd mot sjukdomar, missväxt och annat ont, och så gärna lite regn till de nysådda fälten. Calus är en komplicerad ritual med många bottnar.

origins
Jag tolkar bottnar som "ha sin orsak/sitt ursprung i" här.
Se exempel från Lexins svensk-engelska lexikon:
Svenskt uppslagsord:
bottnar bottnade bottnat bottna verb
nå ner till botten (bildligt "ha sin orsak i")
<A bottnar; x bottnar i y>
Engelsk översättning:
touch bottom; originate
Exempel:
* hans aggressivitet bottnar i rädsla---his aggressiveness originates in his fear

: You may very well have a point there, I read it as 'levels' though, as it seems to be referring to something 'tangible' :)
