ciotola

Italian

Etymology

Uncertain. Probably from a Vulgar Latin root *cyatula, an alteration of Latin cotyla, cotula[1][2] (influenced by cyathus (“small ladle”))[3], from Ancient Greek κοτυλη (kotulē, “cup, beaker”) (cf. also κοτυλος (kotulos, “(frying) pan”)), perhaps cognate with Sanskrit चत्वाल (catvāla, “hole, cavity”), or less likely perhaps from a root *cytola, also of Greek origin. Cf. also Romanian ciutură.
