Etymology

Inherited from Old Galician-Portuguese tavoleiro (“gameboard”), probably a semi-learned borrowing from Latin tabula (“board”) on account of the preserved 'l'; later re-Latinized based on the Latin etymon. See: Old Portuguese Nouns 'tavoleiro', Old Portuguese Nouns 'tavoleiro', Latin Nouns 'tabula'.
