Latin

Etymology

From coct- (“baked”) +‎ -tōrium (“place for”).

Noun

*coctōrium n[1] (Proto-Balkan-Romance)

  1. oven

Reconstruction notes

  • 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

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