### Etymology 1

From Proto-Italic, from Proto-Indo-European *h₃erbʰ- (“to turn”), cognate to Umbrian 𐌖𐌓𐌚𐌄𐌕𐌀 (urfeta).
Two derivational pathways from that root include:
* Possibly from *orbes, orbitis ("going in a circle") +‎ -a, from orbis (“circle”) +‎ -es (“going”). Confer antistita, from antistes. This would imply Proto-Italic *orβitā.
* Possibly a substantivization Proto-Italic *orβetā of a past participle *orβetos to an iterative verb *orβeō.

#### Noun

orbita f (genitive orbitae); first declension
* (literally, Classical Latin) A track or rut made in the ground by a wheel.
** (figurative, Old Latin, poetic) A path, track, course.
* An impression or mark left by a ligature.
* A circuit, orbit.
