Etimoloxía (Inglés)

In summary

From Old Galician-Portuguese mesa (“table”), from Vulgar Latin mēsa, from Latin mēnsa (“table”). Cognate with Galician mesa, Spanish mesa, French moise, Italian mensa and Romanian masă. Not related to Persian میز (mêz, “table”). As both it and Portuguese mesa have been borrowed into different languages of southern Asia, they are sometimes confused by etymologists.
