I knit--(as many know) and i knit socks all the time...
one of brand of sock yarn i use, is Cervinia, (an italian sock yarn)--which is marked: speciale per calzetteria--which i generally presumed meant "special(or especially) for socks"
--but it took me this many hours (since early this AM) to realize the italian word for socks is based on the word for shoe (if calzone is related to shoe, calzetteria (for sock) most certainly is also!)
etteria as an ending exist in english at least in one word(cafeteria --only a single t but clearly related.)
i'll slip over to onelook to see exactly what 'eteria' --i can guess at the meaning, but...
what fun!
