Noun

Forms: pizzells [plural]
Etymology: Borrowed from Italian pizzella. The final vowel is probably dropped either due to southern Italian influence (as Neapolitan often reduces final vowels to a schwa), or due to anglicized pronunciation of the plural form pizzelle (many English words ending in -elle do not pronounce the last e, e.g. belle, gazelle, mademoiselle).
