In example you’re wondering, it comes from the Latin discussion for “hearth,” but that’s non what pre-Wikipedia Chef John thought.

Nope, I figured focaccia meant, “fingers.” Since the signature feature of the staff of life is the deeply dimpled surface, too those holes are created using well-oiled fingers, it made perfect sense.
