Latin

Etymology

From coquō (“to cook”) +‎ -tōrium.

Noun

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”).
