Best 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.
