Four syllables: pan-ey-i-tea.

This is a different pan- from panacea. Can you believe it means the state or quality of being bread?

There's not much more I found on a quick jaunt through some of the Internot pages, so I thought our Good Doctor might like the challenge. Or maybe it will get a rise out of someone else out there in Agora-land?

Pan (pahn) is Spanish for bread. A food chain, specializing in, but not limited to, sandwiches is called Panera and is quite good. I believe panadería means bakery.

In French bread is pain, as in Au Bon.

I believe they,re all from the Latin ''panis''(bread).
