Does the word tavern derive from Latin or Greek?

In: English to Latin, English to Greek [Edit categories]

Answer:

Tavern comes from the Latin word, "taverna". It is unique to Latin, rather than originating in ancient Greek. Interestingly, however, the modern Greek language does use the word "taverna", but it was incorporated into modern Greek from Latin (and Romance languages) instead of having been derived from ancient Greek.
