Etymology
From pelma + -azo (possibly a pre-literary early Romance formation); alternatively, pelmazo was the original term from which pelma was a shortening. The term probably derives from Latin pegma, ultimately from Ancient Greek πῆγμα (pêgma). It is also possible to see pelmazo as deriving from the Greek derivative πηγμάτιον (pēgmátion) (through a Vulgar Latin intermediate).
