The term "pancake-style" is a modern descriptive term. "Pancake" itself comes from the Middle English word *pannecake*, a combination of "panne" (referring to a cooking pan) and "cake." This refers to a flat cake cooked in a pan. The addition of "-style" simply indicates a resemblance to this shape and cooking method.
