The word "pie" traces back to Middle English pye, likely derived from Medieval Latin pica (referring to a magpie, possibly due to the bird’s habit of collecting miscellaneous objects, metaphorically extended to a dish containing mixed ingredients). Alternatively, it may stem from Old French pie (a type of pastry). The word’s evolution reflects the dish’s historical association with mixed fillings, akin to the magpie’s eclectic hoarding.
