Latin

Alternative forms

• torta (Late Latin)^?

Etymology

Of obscure origin.

First attested in the Vindolanda Tablets.^[1] Before the tablets were discovered, the Romance forms were assumed to have derived from Latin tŏrta f (“twisted”), which is also found as a noun in Late Latin (referring to a type of pastry). However, it was recognized even then that a derivation from tŏrta required assuming an unusual development of Latin ŏ.^[2]

Compare Ancient Greek τούρτα (toúrta, “cake of dates, flour, water, and oil baked covered in ashes”), which Watkins claims is from Egyptian t-rtḥ (“baked bread”),^[3] though it could have instead been borrowed from the Latin.

Pronunciation

• (Classical Latin) IPA^(key): /ˈtur.ta/, [ˈt̪ʊrt̪ä]
