==== Noun ====
planta f (Hebrew spelling פלאנטה)

==== References ====
== Latin ==
=== Etymology ===
Either:
from Proto-Italic *plāntā, from Proto-Indo-European *pléh₂-n̥t-eh₂, from Proto-Indo-European *pleh₂- (“flat”).
from Proto-Italic *plānktā, from Proto-Indo-European *pl̥h₂nk/gteh₂, from *pleh₂k-, *pleh₂g- (“to strike, fast”) (similar to *peh₂ǵ- (“to attach, fix, fasten”), whence the similarly meaning prōpāgō (“to propagate, extend, release”)). Cognate with plangō (“to strike, beat, flap”), Ancient Greek πλήσσω (plḗssō, “to strike, smite”).
The original meaning is "sole of the foot"; the meanings of the type "shoot of a plant, etc." are thought to belong to an originally separate word planta that was back-formed to an unattested verb *plantāre, which meant "to level the earth (with the sole of the foot)" or "to plant crops (with the sole of the foot)".

(Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈpɫan.ta]

planta f (genitive plantae); first declension
