[ˈtʃipə]Meaning
A small baked cheese-flavoured roll from Paraguay; from Guarani chipa.
Background Story
The word comes from Paraguayan Guarani chipa, and in Spanish it is written chipa or, in parts of Argentina, chipá. A small one is called a chipita or chipacito, and in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia, the same food is called cuñapé. The recipe has existed since the 18th century and its origins lie with the Guaraní people of Asunción.
