Uitgespreek as (IPA)

[ˈɔr.bɪ.ta]

From Proto-Italic, from Proto-Indo-European *h₃erbʰ- (“to turn”), cognate to Umbrian 𐌖𐌓𐌚𐌄𐌕𐌀 (urfeta). Two derivational pathways from that root include: * Possibly from *orbes, orbitis ("going in a circle") + -a, from orbis (“circle”) + -es (“going”). Confer antistita, from antistes. This would imply Proto-Italic *orβitā. * Possibly a substantivization Proto-Italic *orβetā of a past participle *orβetos to an iterative verb *orβeō.
