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]

Pronunciation

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

Noun

turta f (genitive turtae); first declension

1. a type of pastry
