"creta" meaning in Latin

See creta in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Etymology: Unknown; perhaps: * From Crēta, thus “Cretan earth”. * From (terra) crēta (“sifted (earth)”), substantivized from the feminine gender of crētus. De Vaan considers this phonetically sound but semantically weak (clay is not a sifted type of dirt). * From an archaic Proto-Indo-European noun *tkʷreh₁-it- (compare Old Irish crē, Welsh pridd, Tocharian A tukri and Tocharian B kwriye, all meaning “clay”) plus the thematic feminine ending *-eh₂, but the root would be otherwise unknown. * An early borrowing from Celtic, or from the same substrate source as the Celtic words; more at Proto-Celtic *kʷrīyess. This theory is preferred by de Vaan.

De Vaan considers this phonetically sound but semantically weak (clay is not a sifted type of dirt).\n* From an archaic Proto-Indo-European noun *tkʷreh₁-it- (compare Old Irish crē, Welsh pridd, Tocharian A tukri and Tocharian B kwriye, all meaning “clay”) plus the thematic feminine ending *-eh₂, but the root would be otherwise unknown.\n* An early borrowing from Celtic, or from the same substrate source as the Celtic words; more at Proto-Celtic *kʷrīyess. This theory is preferred by de Vaan.",
