1. 蛋撻（Egg Tart），臺灣稱為蛋塔，“撻”是英文“tart”的音譯，意指餡料外露的餡餅（相對于表面被餅皮覆蓋，餡料密封的批派餡餅）（pie）；蛋撻即以蛋漿為餡料的"tart”。
2. tear (v.) => teart => tart: 撕得他體無完膚、批得他體無完膚。
3. sometimes said to be a shortening of sweetheart. But another theory traces it to jam-tart (see tart (n.1)).

英文詞源
- tart (adj.)
- "having a sharp taste," 1520s, also attested once, obscurely, from late 14c., perhaps from Old English teart "painful, sharp, severe, rough" (in reference to punishment, pain, suffering), from Germanic *ter-t-, from PIE *der- (2) "to split, flay, peel" (see tear (v.1)), but the gap in the record is unexplained. Figurative use, with reference to words, speech, etc., is attested from c. 1600. Related: Tartly; tartness, both also absent in Middle English.
- tart (n.1)
- "small pie," late 14c., from Old French tarte "flat, open-topped pastry" (13c.), possibly an alteration of torte, from Late Latin torta "round loaf of bread" (in Medieval Latin "a cake, tart"), perhaps from past participle of torquere "to twist."
- tart (n.2)
- 1887, "prostitute, immoral woman," from earlier use as a term of endearment to a girl or woman (1864), sometimes said to be a shortening of sweetheart. But another theory traces it to jam-tart (see tart (n.1)), which was British slang early 19c. for "attractive woman." Diminutive tartlet attested from 1890. To tart (something) up is from 1938. Related: Tarted.
