Latin
Etymology
Substantive noun from an ellipsis of the collocative term terra patria ("paternal/hereditary land"), itself from terra (“land, country”) and patrius (“fatherly, paternal, hereditary, ancestral”). Compare origin of Greek βασιλική (basilikḗ, “basilica”), from Byzantine Greek term βασιλική στοά (basilikḗ stoá, “royal building”). Cognates include Ancient Greek πατριά (patriá, “generation, ancestry, descent, tribe, family”) and πατρίς (patrís, “place of one's ancestors”).
