Etymology
Possibly from Catalan/Valencian orxata (possibly via a Mozarabic source), from Vulgar Latin *hordeata, from Latin hordeum (“barley”). However, the word was attested relatively late in Catalan as well (17th-18th century), so this is uncertain. Alternatively, it may be of Italian origin; cf. orzata (“barley water”). See: Latin Nouns '
hordeum'.
