What does PANINI mean in Scrabble?
noun
A grilled Italian-style sandwich, made from a small bread roll pressed and toasted until crisp on the outside.
In Italian, panini is simply the plural of panino, so a menu listing several rolls would call them panini and a single roll a panino. English borrowed the word at a moment when many people first met it in the plural, on cafe menus offering panini as a class of sandwich, and the singular use of panini for one sandwich took hold from there. Because of this history, English speakers now often say a panini or even the double plural paninis, a pattern purists resist but shops and menus use constantly.
