it is a modification of Middle French & Old Italian (which have their roots in Latin)

  • The Middle French word banqueroute means bankruptcy
  • This comes from the Old Italian word bancarotta, from banca (bank) + rotta (broken)
  • rotta, in turn, comes from the Latin word rupta,feminine of ruptus, past participle of rumpere(meaning "to break")
