Etymology 1
From Proto-Italic, from Proto-Indo-European *h₃erbʰ- (“to turn”), cognate to Umbrian 𐌖𐌓𐌚𐌄𐌕𐌀 (urfeta).
Two derivational pathways from that root include:[1]
- Possibly from *orbes, orbitis ("going in a circle") + -a, from orbis (“circle”) + -es (“going”). Confer antistita, from antistes. This would imply Proto-Italic *orβitā.
- Possibly a substantivization Proto-Italic *orβetā of a past participle *orβetos to an iterative verb *orβeō.
Noun
orbita f (genitive orbitae); first declension
- (literally, Classical Latin) A track or rut made in the ground by a wheel.
- An impression or mark left by a ligature.
- A circuit, orbit.
