carte¹

  • /ˈkar.te/

Where it comes from

Inherited from Latin charta, possibly through a hypothetical earlier Romanian intermediate form *cartă, and created from its plural (thus deriving its meaning from "many papers"). Ultimately from Ancient Greek χάρτης (khártēs). Doublet of cartă, a borrowing, as well as hartă, from Greek, and hârtie, from Greek and South Slavic.
