17. Borrowed from Old Catalan relotge (1362) (Modern Catalan rellotge), from the older orollotge, from Latin hōrologium, from Ancient Greek ὡρολόγιον (hōrológion). The current form of the word may partly be a back-formation of relojes, plural of obsolete reloje, which better conforms with the Catalan source and would explain the final j, which is rare in Spanish.
18. Cognate with Old Galician-Portuguese relojo, Portuguese relógio, Greek ρολόι (rolói), French horloge, Italian orologio and Romanian orologiu. See: Catalan Nouns 'rellotge', Latin Nouns 'hōrologium', Ancient Greek Nouns 'ὡρολόγιον', Old Portuguese Nouns 'relojo', Portuguese Nouns 'relógio', Greek Nouns 'ρολόι', French Nouns 'horloge', Italian Nouns 'orologio', Romanian Nouns 'orologiu'.
