"massa" meaning in Latin

See massa in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈmas.sa/ [Classical], [ˈmäs̠ːä] [Classical], /ˈmas.sa/ (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical), [ˈmäsːä] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: An early borrowing from Ancient Greek μᾶζα (mâza, “bread”), possibly via Etruscan. It is uncertain whether the long /aː/ was carried over. Early Latin regularly rendered the Greek sound represented by ⟨ζ⟩ as /ss/; compare patrissō. In Imperial times, when Greek borrowings were entering Latin with ⟨z⟩, the old massa remained, never replaced by *māza.
