<注釋>The etymology of the wordpie turns etymologists into Simple Simons, that is, we do not know what it is for certain.It may come from Medieval Latinpica or pia, .pie, pasty,. but we do not know the origins of these wordsand the earliest use of the Middle English wordpie is earlier (99) than the first use of Medieval Latin pica (c. 30) or pia (230). It has been suggested that Medieval Latinpica may be from Latin poca, .magpie.. The connection could have been made because the miscellaneous nature of pie ingredients might have brought to mind either the magpie`s piebald coloration or its habit of collecting miscellaneous items.In any case, the first pies contained fowl, fish, or meat;the first certain recorded mention of a fruit pie is in Robert Greene`sArcadia, published in 590: .Thy breath is like the steame of apple-pyes..
Pie 的詞源把詞源學(xué)家變成了傻子， 也就是說(shuō)我們對(duì)它的來(lái)源無(wú)法確定。它可能來(lái)源于中世紀(jì)拉丁語(yǔ)pica 或 pia 意為.餡餅，面團(tuán)，. 但我們不知道這些詞的詞源，并且中世紀(jì)英語(yǔ)pie 的最早使用（99年）比中世紀(jì)拉丁語(yǔ) pica （公元30年）或 pia （230年）的最早使用還要早。 也有人說(shuō)中世紀(jì)拉丁語(yǔ)pica 可能來(lái)源于意為.喜鵲.拉丁文 pica。 其聯(lián)系大約是因?yàn)轲W餅原料混雜的特性讓人聯(lián)想到喜鵲雜色的毛或其收集各種各樣?xùn)|西的習(xí)慣。無(wú)論怎樣，最初的餡餅包有禽肉、魚(yú)肉或獸內(nèi)；對(duì)水果派最早的、有確定記錄的敘述出現(xiàn)在出版于590年的羅伯特·格林的作品阿卡底亞 中： .你的呼吸如蘋(píng)果派的香氣.
