西方好像没有饺子，如果没有，请解释一下英语中dumpling这个词的由来~

dumpling 蒸的或煮的小面团; 汤团; 团子.

a round lump of flour and fat mixed with water, cooked in boiling liquid and served with meat

这个词的由来，一些英英字典上标的是[Earlier dumplin, perhaps from dump, lump.]，或者来源不确定。

饺子,现在西方逐渐接受汉语音译名：jiaozi
Jiaozi typically consist of a ground meat and/or vegetable filling wrapped into a thinly rolled piece of dough, which is then sealed by pressing the edges together or by crimping.

dumpling
本意:面团布丁, 团子.饺子的做法和外形跟它差不多,所以也用dumpling来指饺子.
