Etymology

Cognate to Catalan tanda and Galician tanda, of unknown origin, suggested to be from an instance noun Arabic ضَمْدَة (ḍamda, “bandage”) from the root ض م د (ḍ-m-d) being metaphorically used, however, apart from this semantic development being dubious, not only the consonants do not match but this Arabic noun is of utmost rarity. A more down-to-earth etymology derives it from a Latin tanta (literally “that much”).
