Where this word comes from

From lever (“liver”) + postei (“pâté”), literally “liver pâté”. The first element lever (“liver”) continues lifr (“liver”), from *librō (“liver”), ultimately from *leyp- (“to smear, smudge, stick”), an extension of *ley- (“to be slimy or sticky; glide”). The second element postei (“pâté”) was borrowed through Middle Low German pasteie (“pie, pâté”) from Old French pastée, from Medieval Latin pastata, ultimately from pasta (“dough”). Compare Norwegian Nynorsk leverpostei, Danish leverpostej, Swedish leverpastej, Dutch leverpastei and German Leberpastete.
