the.com/omelet
Eggs that bluffed their way into looking like a dish instead of breakfast leftovers.
means A dish of beaten eggs cooked quickly in a pan, often folded around a filling, until just set.
from From French omelette, which likely grew out of alemette, a word tangled up with alemelle, meaning 'thin blade' — a nod to the dish's thin, flat shape. The word may have also been shaped by earlier French amelette and la lemelle, with letters sliding around over centuries until 'omelette' settled into place. Spelled without the final 'te' in American English.
