pebete 39
1st_ Aromatic paste to burn . The Spanish arrives by the archaic Catalan pevet, which would be a diminutive of peu ("foot") and which actually names the portasahumerio; but the origin then would be older and we found it in the Latin pes, pedis ( "foot" ) . 2o_ In Argentina and Uruguay is a barely gilded high crumb bread on the edges, usually used for sandwich. The name would be an acronym (or an acronym ) : PBT ( "White Toasted Bread" ) . 3o_ In lunfardo rioplatense is a diminutive of pibe ( "pibito") influenced by the previous one, or perhaps it was already taken as diminutive of the genoese pivetto ( "young, novice" ) . There is another possible etymology from the first meaning, where 'pebete' is a "child with smell ( a pee).
