Noun [English]

Etymology: Unknown. Anadama bread has been an etymological puzzle for a long time. Dare cites Dialect Notes (1915), and states etymology unknown. John Mariani's Encyclopedia of American Food and Drink also states that the term dates in print from 1915. The often-given etymology, "Anna, damn her!", is certainly apocryphal.
