Etymology

From Russian пирожки́ (pirožkí), plural of пирожо́к (pirožók), which is in turn a diminutive of пиро́г (piróg, “pie”). (In Russian Mennonite communities, borrowed first into Plautdietsch in Russia and Ukraine, and then taken from Plautdietsch into English in the US.) Doublet of pyrizhky and perieschkje.
