ort is to "Rose"

Research: "ORT" is a name brand of shoes created by a lady named Olivia Rose Tal.



From the dictionary:

ort

n.
A small scrap or leaving of food after a meal is completed. Often used in the plural.
A scrap; a bit.

[Middle English orte, food left by animals, probably from Middle Dutch : oor, out; see ud- in Indo-European roots + eten, to eat; see ed- in Indo-European roots.]

Which has nothing to do with shoes. ORT is the initials of the designer of the shoes.

Good one, Randy.
