تراتور
Ottoman Turkish
Alternative forms
Etymology
Uncertain. Perhaps from Persian تار و تور (târ o tur, “in pieces, piecemeal”).[1][2][3] Alternatively, from some derivative of Persian تره (tarre, tare, “garden herb”), perhaps Persian تره دوغ (tara-doġ, “herbs and sour milk”).[4] Theodoridis's tentative attempt to derive from Pontic Greek ταραχτόν (tarachtón, “not very thick colostrum”),[5] which has been uncritically accepted in some standard references (e.g. in Eren and Stachowski),[6][7] is speculative (as admitted by Theodoridis himself) due to the difference in meaning, unusual sound changes and lack of evidence that the dish entered into Ottoman cuisine from Pontus.
