Etymology
1. In the sense given below, seemingly borrowed from Catalan llitera or French litière, both from Late Latin lectuāria (“bedding”). Compare the synonymous Spanish litera, also borrowed from Gallo-Romance.
2. There also existed, however, a liteira (“bedding”) in thirteenth-century Old Galician-Portuguese, which might represent a direct inheritance of the Late Latin lectuāria. See: Catalan Nouns '
llitera', French Nouns '
litière', Spanish Nouns '
litera'.
