Word History

Etymology

borrowed from Italian, from dialectal (Molise) cavatièllə, chęvętiéllə (masculine plural), diminutive of caviatə, chęvatə "hollowed out pasta made from semolina and usually potato," from plural of cavatə, chęvatə "hollowed out, concave," from past participle of cavà, chęvà "to hollow out" (Tuscan cavare)

Note: Dialect forms are from Ernesto Giammarco, Dizionario abruzzese e molisano, vol. 1, Rome: Edizioni dell'Ateneo, 1968; the symbols é and è represent open and close e respectively in tonic syllables, and ę open e in an atonic syllable.
