cómaro

• cómbaro

Attested in local Latin documents at least since 910. Its etymology is debated; most probably it derives from substrate.[1] If related to Old Irish comar (“co-ploughing”),[2] then probably from Proto-Celtic *kom (“with, co-”) + Proto-Celtic *aro-, the latter from Proto-Indo-European *h₂erh₃- (“to ploug”).

• IPA^(key): /ˈkoma̝ɾo̝/

cómaro m (plural cómaros)

1. strip of land in between two contiguous farm plots
