Ital. mortise and Spanish mortaja; the origin is unknown;, Celtic equivalents, such as Gaelic moirteis, are of French origin), a term for a socket or cavity cut in a piece of wood, or other material, into which a corresponding projecting end, a "tenon,"' fits, the two when fitted together forming a "mortise-joint,"' for fastening two beams or other pieces of timber together.
