gât

Emilian

Etymology

Cognate with Italian gatto.

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /ˈɡaːt/

Noun

gât m (feminine singular gâta, masculine plural gât, feminine plural gâti)

  1. cat

Romanian

Etymology

Uncertain. Either from earlier gâlt, from Proto-Slavic *gъltъ, related to *glъtati (“to swallow, devour”) (compare Slovene golt), or from Latin guttura, which may have resulted in a plural form *gâturi, reduced to gât as a singular form through analogy. Compare French goitre. It is also possible that it may derive from the Latin singular form, guttur, itself. Compare guturai, which preserved the original u.
