Latin[edit]

Etymology[edit]

From coquō (to cook) +‎ -tōrium.

Noun[edit]

*coctōrium[1] (Proto-Balkan-Romance)

  1. oven

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]

Descendants[edit]

  • Aromanian: cuptor, cuftor, cãftor
  • Romanian: cuptor
  • Albanian: koftor
