cheista
What does this mean?
Also @_zaki do you have a citation for that? I’d expect it to mean only a female chemist, and even then be chemistaria.
Edit: I was wrong – I see chemista in LatDict, from Calepinus Novus. Also chemicus.
I guess it’s a masculine noun that just looks feminine, like agricola.
I also looked up cheista. Seems that it can be a Sri Lankan name.
chelista (cellist, Spanish)
Summary
Thanks!
Me neither. I think it’s generally known as ‘parmesan cheese’ here (where, like ‘parmigiano’ in Italian, ‘parmesan’ is the adjective meaning ‘from Parma’). Just checking, I see the pack in my fridge (bought in local supermarket, Sainsbury’s) is labelled “Parmigiano Reggiano”, though.
Parma ham is definitely used here, though, for what I previously knew (from Italy) as ‘prosciutto’.

A surname, apparently (phew!)
