marmite

→ Catalan: marmita

→ English: marmite

→ Portuguese: marmita

→ Spanish: marmita

→ Greek: μαρμίτα (marmíta)

In Middle French (attested 1388) used in the sense of an earthen or metal cooking-pot; later (17th century) also of bombs or grenades from their resemblance to iron cooking-pots.
Earlier, the noun Old French marmite meant "hypocrite" (attested 1223); the semantic development is explained as the cooking-pot being covered and not revealing its interior (thus being "hypocritical", as compared to e.g. a cooking-pan or a plate).
The etymology of marmite "hypocrite" is explained as a compound of marmotter (“to mutter”) (from an onomatopoeic base mar- "murmur") and mite (“cat”) (an obsolete word for "cat", probably also onomatopoeic, i.e. imitative of meowing, extant only in the compound chattemite), and thus describing a person being evasive by "murmuring" or "meowing" instead of speaking plainly.

pétrin

Haitian Creole: petren

Inherited from Old French pestrin, inherited from Latin pistrīnum.

[...] lorsque le brigadier est levé & qu’il jouit complètement de son intelligence, la première chose sur laquelle il doit porter son regard, c’est le levain ; sortir ensuite pour s’assurer de l’état du ciel ; voir après cela le baromètre ; visiter la chaudière en hiver ; faire apporter la farine ; construire dans le pétrin une fontaine si elle n’étoit pas déjà faite ; enfin ne rien négliger de tous ces détails préliminaires, qui en apparence semblent être fort peu de chose, mais qui dans le fait influent sensiblement sur le succès du pétrissage et de la fournée [...]

1778, Antoine Augustin Parmentier, Le parfait boulanger ou traité complet sur la fabrication & le commerce du pain, page 367:

… when the brigadier wakes up and is fully alert, the first thing that he should turn to is the starter; then, go out to check the state of the sky; then the barometer; in the winter, visit the boiler; then have the flour brought in; then build a fountain in the kneading trough if not already done; in short, to not neglect any of these preliminary details, which superficially seem to be very little, but which in fact have a significant influence on the steps of the kneading and baking process …
