"cassata" meaning in English

See cassata in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /kəˈsɑːtə/ [UK], /kəˈsɑtə/ [US] Audio: LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-cassata.wav [US] Forms: cassatas [plural]
Rhymes: -ɑːtə Etymology: Borrowed from Italian cassata (“cassata siciliana”), from Sicilian cassata, probably from Vulgar Latin *cāseāta, from cāseus (“cheese”). Compare Maltese qassata (“savoury pastry with ricotta filling”), confirming that the use of ricotta cheese is what unites all of the relevant dishes (and hence probably the original meaning).
