Reconstruction:Latin/coctorium
Latin
editEtymology
editFrom coquō (“to cook”) + -tōrium.
Noun
edit*coctōrium[1] (Proto-Balkan-Romance)
Reconstruction notes
edit- Latin -ct- usually yields Romanian -t- : Albanian -t- when not in coda of the stressed syllable, so the -pt- : -ft- must have been relevelled from other related terms, such as copt (“cooked”), as also happened in coptură (“that which is cooked”).[2]
