TART

This article appears in Volume V26, Page 434 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SUS-TAV
TART , a dish of baked pastry containing fruit, a fruit pie; also a small open piece of baked pastry with jam placed upon it. The word was adapted from the O.Fr. lame; the older form must have been torte, as is seen in the mod. Fr. tourte and the diminutive tortel or torteau; the origin is the Lat. Jolla,
twisted
  (torquere, to twist), used of a cake in Med. Lat., the paste or dough of cakes or tarts being rolled or
twisted
 . The alteration of the vowel is also seen in Ital. tartera. In
English
  there is some confusion with " tart,"
sharp
 , acid,
bitter
 , which comes from O.E. teart,
sharp
 , severe, properly " tearing," from teran, to tear; cf. "
bitter
 ," from " to bite."
