How to say “pesto” in Esperanto, refering a sauce?












5















According to PIV and all other dictionaries I used, pesto is an infectious disease, rather than an tasty Italian dish. On the other hand, there is a Wikipedia article, which doesn't provide any convincing arguments for this spelling. Peŝto is probably a no-option, because it is already used for a city name.

          John Well’s dictionary has the following:




          pesto pist-ita saŭco, -aĵo




          So I guess you can say pistita saŭco or just pistaĵo for short.



          Apparently the Italian word pesto is derived from the Latin word pistus, so presumably they have the same etymology. I guess pistita is a literal translation of the Italian word.

            I'm not aware about a single Esperanto word for pesto. Personally I use to call it bazilia pistitaĵo [laŭ Ĝenova maniero], which is a kind of a calque of the italian pesto alla Genovese (pestle-crushed [sauce] in the style of Genoa).



            Anyway I won't be shocked to see pest/o enter the dictionaries in the future, as it is the obvious solution according to the 15-th rule. Homographs are rare in Esperanto, but we already have some (e.g. koreo).

            A way to avoid that could be pesto/o, like happened with polo/o, but I've never heard anyone using this form.

              Another possibility is to introduce an all-in-one definition and let people make their own choice. Pesto: italdevena saŭco, kiu mezepoke mortigis milionojn da homoj. :p
