تراتور

Ottoman Turkish

Alternative forms

Etymology

Uncertain. Perhaps from Persian تار و تور (târ o tur, in pieces, piecemeal).[1][2][3] Alternatively, from some derivative of Persian تره (tarre, tare, garden herb), perhaps Persian تره دوغ (tara-doğ, herbs and sour milk).[4] The attempt to derive from Pontic Greek ταραχτόν (tarachtón, not very thick colostrum)[5][6][7] is unconvincing if only because nothing in the distribution of the word and the history of this food points to Pontus.

Noun
