etymology
In ancient times, the Romans used a technique common in the Mediterranean to make flat sheets of pastry, which were then processed into strips and cooked. These leaves were called lagana , from which today's lasagna can be traced back.

The Italians used the word to refer to the vessel used to prepare what is known as lasagna - this is how the word lasagna refers to the dish itself.
