Unleavened bread, especially bread made without yeast or fermentation.
From Greek 'azymos' (without yeast), from 'a-' (without) + 'zyme' (leaven). Used particularly in religious and historical contexts.
Matzo at Passover is a type of azyme bread—it commemorates how ancient Hebrews left Egypt so quickly they didn't have time to let bread rise, and that rush became a 3,000-year religious tradition.
