Etymology

The word "lasagna" originates from the Italian "lasagna," which itself derives from the Latin "lasanum" (cooking pot). The term evolved to refer to the dish cooked in such a pot, eventually narrowing to its modern meaning of layered pasta. The spelling and pronunciation were directly borrowed into English without morphological segmentation.
