morta

Morta is a term with several uses in language and culture. In Italian, morta is the feminine singular form of the adjective morto, meaning dead. It is used to describe feminine nouns, for example la persona morta. The masculine form is morto, the feminine plural is morte, and the masculine plural is morti. The word derives from Latin mortuus (dead), passing into the Romance languages.

As a proper noun, Morta may appear as a place name or surname in parts of the Romance-language world, though it is not a widely used toponym or surname in most contexts.

In culture and media, Morta has occasionally been used as a fictional name or title in games, novels, and films. It is not associated with a single canonical figure or work on an international scale.

The form is related to morte, the Italian noun meaning death, and to mort in other languages. In linguistic studies, morta can be cited as an example of how death-related terms migrate and are used in feminine forms across Romance languages.
