Where this word comes from

In the sense given below, seemingly borrowed from Catalan llitera or French litière, both from Late Latin lectuāria (“bedding”). Compare the synonymous Spanish litera, also borrowed from Gallo-Romance. There also existed, however, a liteira (“bedding”) in thirteenth-century Old Galician-Portuguese, which might represent a direct inheritance of the Late Latin lectuāria.
