What is Terracotta? What is Baked Earth? From where the word "Terracotta" came?

The word “Terracotta" comes from the Italian words for “baked earth." Since terracotta pottery is made by baking terracotta clay, that only makes sense! Terracotta is often used as a color word, too, to describe the natural brown-orange color of terracotta products. Terracotta is a clay-like earthenware ceramic that can be either glazed or non-glazed. In addition to being used for flower pots, terracotta is also often used for water and sewage pipes, bricks, and sculptures.
