meturã
Aromanian
Etymology
Compare Daco-Romanian mătură, Megleno-Romanian m(i)etură, Istro-Romanian meture, from *metula (compare Albanian mettulë), from South Slavic *metla (“broom”) (compare Serbo-Croatian мѐтла (mètla), Slovene metla, Bulgarian метла (metla)). Another theory suggests possibly a substratum word, akin to Proto-Slavic metla. Alternatively based on Late Latin matta (“mat of rushes”), possibly through a root *mattula, and perhaps influenced by metere. Has several near-cognates in Southern Italian dialects. Compare also Italian matta, Spanish mata.
