Etymology[edit]

@Word dewd544 Is it not just ad + tantum? Nicodene (talk) 02:28, 27 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

All the etymologies I've seen from the Romanian dictionaries say eccum tantum. I did elaborate on the etymology just now. The Aromanian forms kind of illustrate the evolution better. At the same time though, it is a somewhat unusual development, maybe influenced analogically by other words. Confer also cutare and atare vs. Italian cotale and cotanto.
