Noun

IPA: [ˈwɪ.tʊ.ɫa] [Classical-Latin], [ˈviː.t̪u.la] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: Feminine counterpart of vitulus (“a [male] calf”). Whether the word for a string instrument is from this source is quite uncertain, but may be related to strings being made from the intestines of cattle; may also be a borrowing from Frankish *fiþulā (“violin, fiddle”).
