像糊一樣
兩個意思都從這碗糊出發,只是各取了它的一個面向。
adjective · C1
Thick, soft and sticky, like paste; often said of food that has become heavy and gluey instead of light.
糊糊的、黏稠的
這個拼法底下其實是2個不同的字,意思沒有關係, 只是長得一樣。下面分開列出來。跳到 糊糊的、黏稠的 · 餡餅(手拿的烤派)
唸法不同同樣的拼法,這個字的唸法跟另一個不一樣。/ˈpeɪsti/
Hold a bowl of paste in mind: thick, soft, sticky, and a flat dull white with no shine in it. Both uses of the adjective point back to that bowl — one at how it feels, one at how it looks.
The source gives this adjective as paste plus the adjectival suffix -y, so the word says no more than paste-like. Which part of paste you mean — the stickiness or the colour — is what separates the two senses.
資料說這個形容詞就是 paste 加上形容詞字尾 -y。所以字面上它只說了「像糊一樣」。到底像的是黏稠還是顏色,就分出了兩個意思。

A second word, same spelling
唸法不同同樣的拼法,這個字的唸法跟另一個不一樣。/ˈpæsti/
A different picture altogether: a round of pastry with dinner laid on one half, folded over, pressed shut along the curve, and baked. A whole meal that carries itself, needing no plate and no fork.
The source takes the noun back to Middle English paste, from Anglo-Norman paste and Old French pasté, and calls it a doublet of patty. The line runs through the dough, not through the filling.
資料把這個名詞追到中古英語 paste,再往前是盎格魯諾曼語 paste 和古法語 pasté,並說它和 patty 是同源雙生字。這條線走的是「麵皮」,不是裡面的餡。
