Etymology
Borrowed from Yiddish פּאַסטראַמע (pastrame), from Romanian pastramă, from Turkish pastırma,[1][2][3] a variation of bastırma (“dried meat”), from root bas- (“to press”). It is sometimes claimed that the origin of the Romanian word is Greek παστώνω (pastóno, “I salt”), from Ancient Greek παστός (pastós, “sprinkled with salt, salted”). The English spelling ending in -mi is probably from the influence of salami.
