Etymology

Inherited from Latin spartum (“esparto or halfah grass”), from Ancient Greek σπάρτον (spárton, “rope, cable; esparto or halfah grass”), valued for its high tensile strength, used for cords and wicker, and exported by Spanish Greek colonies throughout the Mediterranian. Cognate to Spanish espuerta.
