Etymology

[edit]

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.
