NETTO Question
What does the term Netto stand for? Is it an acronym or some sort of
abbreviation? I'm not asking for an explanation of it in theory or in use I'd just like to know from where the term derives.

It's the German word for net, as in net amount. It's for sure not german. Also in german it's a foreign word, I guess it stems from latin. Eggert

abbreviation? No abbreviation, no Latin, just a simple Italian word. In this sense first used in the 15th or 16th century by merchants. netto: pure, unmixed brutto: raw, crude and then there's tara, which was derived from Arab taraha: to remove. Stefan

and of course Tara was the name of the estate in "Gone With The Wind" - a
most appropriate title for a soaring story, perhaps. "Ta-ra" also means goodbye in the dialect of Liverpool, England. "Stefan" "stefan"@mus. INVALID .ch wrote in message ...

Das ist nichts einen deutsches (in my best attempt at pig-german). Don't know too many gutteral languages that have a lot of words ending with vowels--sorta defeats the emphatic cadence. Romantic languages and Japanese, maybe, but German? Je ne sais pas, mon ami!
