Forms: 1600s– travertin, 1600s– travertine, 1800s trevertine.

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Partly a borrowing from Italian. Etymons: Latin travertina; Italian travertino, tivertino.

Etymology: < (i) post-classical Latin travertina (1664 in the passage translated in quot. 1669 at main sense), and its etymon (ii) Italian travertino (a1601; 1540 as trevertino , 1555 as trivertino ), variant (with epenthetic r , resulting from assimilation to the next syllable) of tivertino Tivertine n. Compare earlier Tiburtine adj. and slightly earlier Tivertine n.Compare French travertin (1611 in Cotgrave as †trevertin). Compare the following earlier example of Italian trevertino in an English context:1555 R. Eden tr. V. Biringucci Pyrotechnia in tr. Peter Martyr of Angleria Decades of Newe Worlde f. 340 And [silver] is often tymes founde in an other stone lyke vnto Treuertino [It. treuertino] or in Treuertino [It. treuertino] it selfe.

A white or light-coloured concretionary limestone, formed by the precipitation of calcium carbonate from springs, or from ground or surface water; esp. a hard, dense variety used as a building material. More fully travertine stone.The terms travertine and tufa (cf. tufa n. b) are sometimes used interchangeably; however tufa is generally reserved for porous or spongy varieties of this stone. The harder dense variety is typically formed around the mouth of hot springs, or as stalactites or stalagmites in limestone caves.Travertine is used especially for paving, and as a decorative material for wall claddings and the facades of buildings. It has a particular association with Rome, where it was used to build the Colosseum and St Peter's Basilica.
