Etymology
From Latin ferrātus (“ironed”), from ferrum (“iron”) + -ātus (“-ate”). As units of measure, from a clipping of Medieval Latin modius ferrātus. Although sometimes considered equivalent to the Spanish celemín, in fact typically about twice as large except as a unit of area. See: Latin Adjectives '
ferrātus'.
