	Tarocchi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However there are still traditional sequences of images in which the common lineage is visible: for example, a moon is visible at the bottom left corner of the XXI in the picture at the top of the page.
		This stems from confusion of German Mond with Italian mondo, meaning "world"—the usual symbol associated with the 21 in divinatory tarot.
		In tarot decks made for playing the game (as opposed to those made for divination or other esoteric uses), the four Latin suits are replaced in many regions with the French suits of hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades.

	FAQ#2—What does the name Tarot mean?
		For some reason the Italians began calling the deck Tarocchi, the name by which the cards (for games and fortune-telling) are still called in Italy today.
		In Germany, for example, the name became Tarock (Tarocchi is pronounced hard—Tar-OK-Kee), in Hungary Tarokk and in France it became Tarot—although a number of variations on the spelling were used for some time before the final orthography was accepted.
		It appears the Italians adopted the word only slightly altered (to an Italian form) from the Arabic, while the French supposedly dropped the hard k sound and went with taro, thus demonstrating they probably inherited the word from the Italians, but also suggesting they may have adopted the word as a variant of tare.
