Romanian

Etymology

[edit]

Possibly from Latin catēna (chain), referring to the arrangement of the sea buckthorn berries along the branches (and therefore a doublet of the borrowing catenă), or possibly from an alteration of Late Latin catanum, catanus. Cf. also Aromanian cãtinã (spine, backbone), which developed a different meaning.
