Pie = short/stout circular cylinder, involves some kind of dough/bread, tends to have a crust, tends to have stuff witin the uh, semi-enclosed volume made by the bread.
Can have bread/dough on top also, but doesn’t need to.
I think that works for a chicken pot pie (apparently also shepard’s pie?), a pizza pie, an apple pie, a lemon merengue pie…
That at least seems plausible/likely to me, but, I am only me.
… maybe some very bored linguist or statistician has actually polled people on this?
That would be my guess, yeah.
