hortus

Latin

From Proto-Italic *hortos, from earlier *xortos (to differentiate it from a later form *hortos if the shift */x/ > */h/ in the Italic languages already happened during late Proto-Italic), from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰórtos. Cognate with Oscan 𐌇𐌞𐌓𐌆 (húrz), Ancient Greek χόρτος (khórtos).
