lasagna

• lasagne

From Italian lasagna, Italian lasagne, possibly from Vulgar Latin *lasania, from Latin lasanum (“cooking pot”), from Ancient Greek λάσανον (lásanon, “trivet or stand for a pot”). Others argue the Italian lasagna originally derived from the Arabic (Semitic) lawzinaj ("almond cake").
