Etymology

Inherited from Middle French charte, chartre, from Old French chartre, charte, from Latin chartula, diminutive of charta, with loss of the second -r- by dissimilation (or alternatively through influence from Latin charta). Ultimately from Ancient Greek χάρτης (khártēs). Cognate with French carte. Doublet of charter.
