gata

/ˈɡa.ta/

Where it comes from

Origin disputed. Though probably from Proto-Slavic *gotovъ. Balkan Romance languages contain numerous instances where intervocalic b, v, w sounds are dropped, both in inherited Latin terms and old Slavonic borrowings.

The word can also be found in Albanian, compare Albanian gati (which, like the Romanian, is also invariable). Alternatively, the word may be of ultimate Paleo-Balkanic or Albanian origin.
