Where this word comes from

Inherited from Old French foie, feie, from Late Latin fīcātum (“liver (as food)”), from Latin iecur fīcātum (“fig-stuffed liver, foie gras”). The French form goes back to a byform ficatum with a short accented -i- (whence Italian fegato), which was then metathesised to *fitacum. The last also underlies in Catalan fetge.
