reteza

Etymology
. Perhaps from Common, but this presents phonetic difficulties. Another possibility may be a root  <, or *retundiāre (compare 🇨🇬), or from  ("to choose"). Starting with the meaning of "cutting tree branches" and therefore extending it to "cleaning", it could also be based on a variant of a hypothetical verb *neteza, from Latin *nitidiāre < (compare 🇨🇬, ); see also the relation between  and.

Verb

 * 1) to chop off, cut off, hew off, lop off, sever, dock, cut
 * 2) to clean or cut off honeycombs from a beehive
