Why is it called tarot?

The name 'tarot' is believed to have originated from a combination of Egyptian words, 'tar' meaning 'path' and 'ro' meaning 'king', symbolizing the correct judgment a king should have. Alternatively, it could also be traced back to Italian 'tarocchi' without a known origin, or linked to various theories like card games from northern Italy or Arabic terms. However, the exact etymology remains a mystery, shrouded in the history and mysticism of these ancient cards.
