Etymology

From Old Portuguese até, of uncertain origin. Possibly from Arabic حَتَّى ‎(ḥattā), Latin ad ista ‎(“to this”) or Latin ad tenus ‎(“as far as”) (>"ad tenes"), which explain the large number of mediaeval variants (atrõe, atée, atrõo, attaa, atẽe, atães, tẽe and so on). Compare Spanish hasta.
