Etymology

Inherited from Latin charta, possibly through a hypothetical earlier Romanian intermediate form *cartă, and created from its plural (thus deriving its meaning from "many papers"). Ultimately from Ancient Greek χάρτης (khártēs). Doublet of cartă, a borrowing, as well as hartă, from Greek, and hârtie, from Greek and South Slavic. See: Latin Nouns 'charta', Ancient Greek Nouns 'χάρτης'.
