Étymologie

Borrowed from Andalusian Arabic تاقرة (tāqra, “milking pail”), which is also found as a liquid measure tagra rarely in Galician-Portuguese, in Old Spanish tagara (“bowl”) and Old Leonese tagara, tagarra (“bowl”), and in Spanish tarreñas, tarrañuelas (“two pieces of slate or earthenware placed between the fingers to rattle”), and is ultimately one of the many variants of Latin tēgula (“a tile also for frying”), which is found in the meaning of a jar for example in Macedonian тегла (tegla, “jar”). Doublet of teja.
