the.com/panini
already plural in Italian, so ordering 'one panini' means demanding one sandwiches
means A pressed Italian-style sandwich made with a roll or bread, typically grilled flat in a heated press until warm and crisp.
from From Italian, where 'panino' is the singular — a 'little bread' — built from 'pane' (bread, from Latin 'panis') plus the diminutive '-ino.' 'Panini' is simply its plural. English borrowed the plural and quietly forgot it was plural, treating one sandwich as a 'panini' and inventing the cheerful non-word 'paninis' for several, much to the despair of anyone who speaks Italian.
