@ a.d.k:
etimoloji tam da o demek değil mi, illa "pas" fırın demektir, "ta" da hamur, gibi bi anlamını veremez. fuad paşanın hikayesi de, ilk defa yazılı olarak hangi metinde geçtiği de etimolojinin işidir.
türkçede neden bu anlama geldiğine dair bi fikir yürütmek için aşağıdaki şu ilginç bilgiyi bilelim:
However, the first certain record of pasta cooked by boiling is made in the Talmud, written in Aramaic in the 5th century AD and coems from Arabic references. Known as Itiyah, it refers to dried pasta which was portable and carried as a dry staple. More than likely, pasta was introduced during the Arab conquests of Sicily. Some historians believe that the Sicilian word maccaruni, which means made into a dough by force, is the origin of macaroni. In ancient times, kneading was done with the feet and often took all day.
Some pasta dishes still eaten today in Sicily include raisins and spices that were brought in by the Arabs, another indication that perhaps it was the Arabs that introduced pasta. Dried pasta became popular throughout the 14th and 15th centuries as it was easily stored for long periods and evidence shows that ships setting on their voyages of discovery to explore the New World had pasta in their stores.

götten uydurma sonuç, pasta denenpişmiş hamur katlarının arasına ve üzerine tatlı malzemeler sürülerek yapılmış tatlının adı, hamurundan dolayı bizde pasta olmuştur. (walla)
