Etymology

From Vulgar Latin *nutria or *lutria / *lutrea, from Latin lutra, from Proto-Italic *utr?, from Proto-Indo-European *udréh?, the feminine form of *udrós, from the root *wed-. The Spanish word, preserving the -t-, may have arrived through the intermediate of either Mozarabic or more likely a Southern Italian language or dialect: cf. Salerno dialect (of Neapolitan) nùtria, Calabrian ùtria and lùtria, utre in Basilicata, etc. The Vulgar Latin form was likely influenced by Ancient Greek ??????? (enudrís). Compare also Catalan llúdria, Portuguese lontra.
