Where this word comes from

From Arabic مَقْلُوبَة (maqlūba, literally “upside down”), from the passive participle of the verb قَلَبَ (qalaba, “to turn, to flip”), named after the way the dish is served; variation in spelling reflects the different varieties of North Levantine Arabic or South Levantine Arabic the term has been borrowed from.
