覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
ravioli はイタリア語 raviolo の複数形として英語に入り、薄いパスタ生地で具を包んだ料理を指します。「外側の生地＋内側の filling」という構造を、ravioli filled with spinach and cheeseやravioli with tomato sauceの形で覚えます。英語では料理全体を表す集合的な名詞のようにも使われるため、fresh ravioli cooks quicklyのような単数一致も見られます。
Remember ravioli as filled pasta: a thin pasta wrapper on the outside and cheese, meat, or vegetables on the inside. Useful combinations include ravioli filled with spinach and cheese, ravioli with tomato sauce, and fresh ravioli. The form ravioli is historically the Italian plural of raviolo, although English often uses ravioli for the dish as a whole and may give it singular agreement, as in fresh ravioli cooks quickly. Distinguish it from unfilled pasta by picturing each piece as a small sealed parcel containing a filling.

ravioli の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ravioli はイタリア語で、raviolo の複数形。語源には諸説あるが、方言 rava「カブ」からの小形語とする説が有力で、関連語は rape と rapini。丸く詰め物を包んだ形を『小さなカブ』に見立てたと考えると納得しやすい。
English borrowed ravioli from Italian, where ravioli is the plural of raviolo. The word has been recorded in forms referring to filled pasta since the medieval period, but its ultimate origin remains uncertain. It has often been connected with a northern Italian word rava, “turnip,” possibly through an earlier filling or a diminutive formation. This explanation is disputed, so the secure points are its Italian source, plural form, and long association with filled food parcels.
