Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Borrowed into English in the late 20th century from Italian, where 'ciabatta' literally means 'slipper' or 'old shoe' due to the bread's elongated, broad, and flat shape resembling a slipper. The recipe was created in 1982 by a baker in Veneto, Italy, as a response to the popularity of imported French baguettes.
