==Terminology== thumb|left|Pogácsa from Hungary. Typical varieties are prepared with potato, cheese, or cracklings. The word derives ultimately from the Latin ', i.e. bread (') baked on the hearth or fireplace (''), via the Byzantine Greek πογάτσα (pogátsa), thence entering the South Slavic languages as pogača / погача.
