The meaning of the word ''khaltura'' has shifted with time. Presumably, ''khaltura'' originates from the Latin word ''chartulatium''. In the fifteenth century, this word described a list with names of the dead to be prayed for. In the seventeenth century, it shifted to describing wake ceremonies and subsequently free food (Semenov, 2003). From the clergy, the word then migrated to the theatre community, where it was associated with side jobs for actors (Kartsevskiĭ 2000: 213). Its current meaning emerged in the twentieth century. The word ''khaltura'' was taken from the Russian language and adopted in the spoken languages of the Soviet republics: ''haltuura'' in Estonian or ''xaltura'' in Azerbaijani. It was also adopted in the languages from the same language family – Ukrainian, Belorussian, Polish. | The meaning of the word ''khaltura'' has shifted with time.
