booth, apotheca Explanation: In you talk about Rome, you might use the Latin word "apotheca" meaning shop. That's the origin of the word "boutique" if we are to believe the OED. |

pantry, storeroom Explanation: I checked my Italian dictionary (Dizionario della lingua italiana) in which apoteca is defined as "that part of the Roman house in which provisions were stored" from the greek apotithemi (I store); however, the Italian derivative word, "bottega" means store, a place of business, a place where a tradesman works Cheers, Paola L M |
