A thick, sticky substance made by mixing powder with liquid; to stick something onto a surface with glue.
From Old French 'paste,' from Latin 'pasta' (dough), from Greek 'pastē' (barley porridge, paste), originally describing food before extending to adhesive substances.
Pasta and paste share the same root word from ancient Greek—both are made by mixing powder with liquid to create something stickier, showing how the Romans borrowed the pasta concept and used the same word for glue.
