Where this word comes from
Uncertain. * Possibly an African borrowing; see Kimbundu falofa, referencing a meal made with flour, oil, water, and peanuts. However some sources argue that the Kimbundu term may have been borrowed from Portuguese instead. * Perhaps from Latin far (“a type of hulled wheat”) + offa (“chunk; dumpling”).
