Etymology
The word parmigiana probably comes from Italian parmigiano 'from Parma' or from Sicilian parmiciana 'slats', a word that shows the layered way the food is put together. A helpful way to remember it is to think of a baked dish stacked in layers and topped with Parmesan, so parmigiana means a cheesy, layered bake.
