talmouse

From French talmouse.

talmouse (plural talmouses)

1. a pastry shell with a filling of cheese

• luteomas, soul mate, soulmate

From Middle French talmouse, talemouse, from South Levantine Arabic طَلْمُوسَة‎ (ṭalmūse, “a kind of breadroll baked in hot ashes”), a Classical Syriac -ōs diminutive of ܛܘܠܡܬܐ‎ (ṭulmtā) known from Classical Arabic as طُلْمَة‎ (ṭulma, “a cake of bread beaten with the hand and baken in hot ashes”). Since the dough was formed by beating with the flat hand, the meaning of a slap does not constitute a different word.

• IPA^(key): /tal.muz/

talmouse f (plural talmouses)

1. piece of pastry made with cream, flour, cheese, eggs and butter
2. (colloquial, obsolete) slap, punch
