Tarot is actually a word derived from "Tarocchi," which has Italian roots, and in English and French it is called "Tarot." There is also a river called Taro in northern Italy, and it is possible that Tarocchi, or Tarot, originated from that part of Italy.

The emergence of Tarot cards dates back several centuries, originally as a form of entertainment game.
