"PASTE" AND "PASTA"
You can't mako a nice pio without paste. Of course, you know what the paste is made of —flour and water. So you would bo very surprised if you asked for pasto and got a dish of salted food. Yet that is just what "pasto" used to mean. When a Roman said " pasta" ho meant paste, but ho got tho word from tlio Greeks, among whom it meant a mess of salted food. Another word which has changed its meaning is "pastry." You know what pastry means, but it always used to mean the place where "pastry" is made.
