tostada

/tosˈtada/ · B2 · noun · f

toast

tostada — toast

🍞 tostada = toast + -ada (a toasted thing), from tostar, to toast

Spanish tostar means to toast, and the -ada ending makes a noun for the result of an action. So tostada is the toasted thing: toast. English toast comes from the same Latin root, tostus, meaning scorched.
