Etymology
Probably from metathesis of Old Catalan *eroneta, from Vulgar Latin *hirundĭtta, a diminutive of Latin hirundō. The suffix may have also been an internal formation within early Catalan: compare the different suffixes used in nearby Romance cognates: Occitan ironda, randoleta, irondela, Spanish golondrina, Portuguese andorinha, French hirondelle, Italian rondine, cf. also Romanian rândunea, rândunică. See: Latin Nouns '
hirundō', Spanish Nouns '
golondrina', Portuguese Nouns '
andorinha', French Nouns '
hirondelle', Italian Nouns '
rondine', Romanian Nouns '
rândunea'.
