Etimologia (Inglês)

From Latin maltha (“mineral pitch”). The original [ɫ] appears to have vocalized to [u̯] in pre-literary Tuscan, with the resulting [au̯] regularly yielding [ɔ], as in Latin aurum (“gold”) > Italian òro. Doublet of malta. Less probably of Germanic origin, related to English mud.
