Etimología (Inglés)
Unknown:
* Perhaps as if tosta, from torreō (“to burn, parch”).
* Perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *tₔtḱ-t-, from *tetḱ- (“to create, produce”) (whence Latin texō (“to weave”)). Thus cognate with Middle Persian tšt' (tašt).
* Borrowed from a substrate language, as words for vessels often are.
