Noun
Etymology 2
Shortening of ペスト・ジェノヴェーゼ (pesuto jenovēze), from Italian pesto alla genovese.
Noun
- (food) pesto (Italian sauce)
Etymology 3
Borrowed from English Pest, from Hungarian Pest.
A borrowing directly from Hungarian is extremely unlikely, as the Hungarian pronunciation of /pɛʃt/ would result in a Japanese rendering of ペシュト (peshuto) instead.
Alternative forms
- ペシュト (Peshuto)
Proper noun
Etymology 4
Borrowed from French peste, from the title of the 1947 novel La Peste by Albert Camus.[1][5]
