tarta
/ˈtaɾta/ · B1 · noun · f
pie
🥧🍰 tarta = English tart + a: same pastry, Spanish feminine ending
Both words come from French tarte and the Late Latin torta, a round flat bread. Spanish adds the feminine -a, so it is la tarta. It covers sweet cakes and savoury quiches alike: tarta de queso is cheesecake.
