Etymology

Borrowed from Hokkien, either:

  • 扁食 (pán-si̍t, “wonton dumpling”, literally “flattened food; flat and thin food”), according to Manuel (1948), which he described as “[pán(cook rice to make noodle)-sit(food, meal), meat-balls sautéd with noodle.]”.[1] Attested in the Dictionario Hispanico Sinicum (1626-1642) as “empanadas 扁食 paǹ sit᷾ pièn sit̄”,[sic][2] likely referring to dumplings which its cooking preparation also involves flattening dough, just as noodles. See also Pancit Molo which does not have any noodles, but the “pancit” in the name refers to the wanton dumpling wrappers in the dish.
  • 便个食 (piān ê si̍t, literally “readied food; prepared food”), according to Chan-Yap (1980), which she described as “piăn+ē+sít 'dish that is conveniently cooked, i.e. noodle dish'; (piăn 便 'ready', ē* sít 食 'food')”,[3] but there is no evidence for the existence of such a proposed Hokkien term.

Compare Tagalog pansit, Indonesian pangsit.
