  FEW:  pasta 7,748a Gdf: ∅ GdfC: ∅ TL: ∅ DEAF:  paste (paster 1)  DMF:  pastir  TLF: ∅ OED:  paste v.  / pasted adj.  MED:  pasten v.  DMLBS:  pastillatus 2138c

Despite a semantic overlap with pester1 (‘to bake’) this verb is believed to be a separate development from the substantive paste1 (‘dough’), found in English sources but not in Continental French or Latin. The ‘a’ in its root precludes a direct association with the Latin verb pistare.

v.trans.

1culin. to knead (into a paste or dough):
