One of these is not quite right:

> The word “toast” comes from the Latin word “tost” meaning “toast”.

That's a Middle English word. You can trace its etymology further back to Latin

but it won't be just "tost" in Latin.

There's a reason I put "researching" and "discovered" in quotes ;) That toast fact is exactly as correct as it's supposed to be.

voster clunis tostus est

Whoops!

Since toast is discussed on HN: I remember this video [0] nicely explaining some nice engineering of an interesting toaster.

I just learned a whole lot about toast.
