Etymology
Deverbal from pinchar. The semantic evolution has French origins “pincé,” meaning “pinched” or “caught.” During colonial times, cooks were known for their skill in manipulating food with their fingers, especially when seasoning it. This skill earned them the nickname “pinches,” alluding to their ability to pinch ingredients with precision.
