Etymology

Borrowed from Spanish: paladar

Cognate with Galician: padal

In summary

Ultimately from Vulgar Latin *palātārem, derived from Latin palātum. Considering its intervocalic /l/, presumably borrowed via Spanish paladar. Doublet of padar (the inherited counterpart); cf. also Galician padal.
