What are Nougats? From answers.com it is a noun and is defined as a confection made from a sugar or honey paste into which nuts are mixed. This recipe fits the description well. [French, from Provençal, from nougo, nut, from Old Provençal noga, from Vulgar Latin *nuca, from Latin nux, nuc-, nut.]
Pecans in short, the word "paccane" was a word of the Northern French, adopted as " pecan" in 1765-1775 by the American colonists-to-be.
