krapulassa tekee mieli pitsaa

krapula

From Latin crapula. -> Ancient Greek κραιπάλη (kraipálē, “intoxication, hangover”) -> Unclear. It has been connected with κραιπνός (kraipnós, “swift, rushing”). Beekes argues for a Pre-Greek origin.

pizza

Of uncertain origin: perhaps from Byzantine Greek πίττα (pítta, “cake, pie”), from Ancient Greek πίσσα (píssa, “pitch”), Attic Greek πίττα (pítta), from πεπτός (peptós, “cooked”), or borrowed from Lombardic bizzo, or from Latin pinsō (“I beat, pound”).

vehnä

From Proto-Finnic *vehnä, from Proto-Finno-Permic *wešnä.

jauho

From Proto-Finnic *jauho. Equivalent to jauhaa +‎ -o. -> From Proto-Finnic *jauhadak, from Proto-Finno-Permic *jaŋša-.

hiiva

From Proto-Finnic *hiiva. Further etymology unclear; possibly either a Baltic loan (compare Lithuanian šývas (“light gray”)), possibly from Proto-Uralic *čiŋa (“foam”) (compare Erzya чов (čov), Eastern Mari шоҥ (šoṅ)), or from Germanic (compare German Hefe (“yeast”)). All of these proposals suffer from problems.

tomaatti

Likely from Swedish tomat. -> Borrowed from Spanish tomate, from Classical Nahuatl tomatl, from Proto-Nahuan *tomatl.

kastike

kastaa +‎ -ke -> From Proto-Finnic *kastadak. -> From *kasi +‎ *-tadak, from Proto-Uralic *käsä.

oliivi

from Latin olīva (“olive”), from Etruscan 𐌄𐌋𐌄𐌉𐌅𐌀 (eleiva) or Proto-Greek *ἐλαίϝα (*elaíwa), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *loiwom (compare Old Church Slavonic лои (loi, “tallow”), Old Armenian եւղ (ewł, “oil”)).[1]

juusto

From Proto-Finnic *juusto, borrowed from Proto-Germanic *justaz. Related to Estonian juust, Swedish ost. -> From Proto-Indo-European *yewH-s- (“sap, juice, broth”), from *yewH- (“to blend, mix (food), knead”). Cognate with Latin iūs (“juice, broth”), Welsh uwd (“porridge”), and dialectal Lithuanian jū́šė (“fish soup”).

ananas

From French ananas, from Spanish ananás, from Portuguese ananás, from Old Tupi nanas (“pineapple”).

feta

From Greek φέτα (féta), from Italian fetta (“slice”). -> Uncertain; several possibilities exist. Probably ultimately from Latin findere, through an alteration of its past participle fissus into a form *fictus > *fectus, later becoming feminine. (Compare the change from fixus to fitto). An alternative may be a Vulgar Latin *offecta (“little piece”), diminutive of offa. Compare Galician and Portuguese fita, Dalmatian fiata, Sicilian and Sardinian fitta.

kebab

From Arabic كَبَاب‎ (kabāb), partly through Urdu, Persian and Turkish kebap.[1] Doublet of cevapi. See the Arabic entry for more. -> According to Nişanyan, borrowed from Aramaic: compare Jewish Babylonian Aramaic כבבא‎ (kbbʾ, “roasting of meat”), כיבה‎ (kybʾ, “perhaps roasted meat”), which are from the verb כבב‎ (kbb, “to burn, roast”), ultimately from Proto-Semitic *kabab- (“to burn, to roast”), whence also Akkadian 𒅗𒁀𒁍 (/kabābu/, “to burn”).

öljy

From Old Swedish [Term?] (compare Swedish olja and German Öl), ultimately from Latin oleum, from Ancient Greek ἔλαιον (élaion, “olive oil”). -> From Proto-Hellenic *élaiwon, identical to the modern Cypriot form. Compare ἐλαία (elaía, “olive”)

Ciao elikkäs tsau

The word derives from the Venetian phrase s-ciào vostro or s-ciào su literally meaning "I am your slave".[1] This greeting is analogous to the medieval Latin Servus which is still used colloquially in parts of Central/Eastern Europe or the antiquated English valediction "Your Obedient Servant."[2] The expression was not a literal statement of fact, but rather a perfunctory promise of good will among friends (along the lines of "at your service" in English). The Venetian word for "slave", s-ciào [ˈstʃao] or s-ciàvo, derives from Medieval Latin sclavus, deriving from the ethnic "Slavic", since most of the slaves came from the Balkans.

This greeting was eventually shortened to ciào, lost all its servile connotations and came to be used as an informal salutation by speakers of all classes. In modern Italian language, the word is used (in addition to the meaning of salutation) as an exclamation of resignation (also in a positive sense), as in Oh, va be', ciao! ("Oh, well, never mind!"). A Milanese tongue-twister says Se gh'hinn gh'hinn; se gh'hinn nò, s'ciào ("If there is [money], there is; if there isn't, farewell! [there's nothing we can do]").

[Aloysius Kärppä]

A mondegreen of "and per se and", meaning "and (the character) '&' by itself", which is how the symbol (&) was originally referred to in English. This formulation is due to the old practice in schools whereby, when reciting the alphabet, the "&" sign was treated as a 27th letter (read as "and"), and any letter that could also be used as a word in itself ("A", "I", "O" and, at the time, "&") was preceded by the Latin expression per se (Latin for "by itself"). Thus the end of the recitation would be: "X, Y, Z and per se and". This last phrase eventually became "ampersand", and the term was in common English usage by around 1837.

&

ampersand (n.)

1837, contraction of and per se and, meaning "(the character) '&' by itself is 'and' " (a hybrid phrase, partly in Latin, partly in English). An earlier form of it was colloquial ampassy (1706). The distinction is to avoid confusion with & in such formations as &c., a once common way of writing etc. (the et in et cetera is Latin for "and"). The letters a, I, and o also formerly (15c.-16c.) were written a per se, etc., especially when standing alone as words.

The symbol is based on the Latin word et "and," and comes from an old Roman system of shorthand signs (ligatures) attested in Pompeiian graffiti, and not (as sometimes stated) from the Tironian Notes, which was a different form of shorthand, probably invented by Cicero's companion Marcus Tullius Tiro, which used a different symbol, something like a reversed capital gamma, to indicate et. This Tironian symbol was maintained by some medieval scribes, including Anglo-Saxon chroniclers, who sprinkled their works with a symbol like a numeral 7 to indicate the word and.

In old schoolbooks the ampersand was printed at the end of the alphabet and thus by 1880s the word ampersand had acquired a slang sense of "posterior, rear end, hindquarters."

mortgage

From Anglo-Norman morgage, Middle French mortgage, from Old French mort gage (“death pledge”), after a translation of judicial Medieval Latin mortuum vadium or mortuum wadium, from mortuum + vadium or wadium, of Germanic (Frankish) origin, from a root *waddi, wadja. Compare gage and also wage. So called because the deal dies either when the debt is paid or when payment fails.

Torppa

From Old Norse þorp, from Proto-Germanic *þurpą
