Pronunciation

Etymology 1

Borrowed from German Pest.[4][1][5][2]

Etymology 2

Shortening of ペスト・ジェノヴェーゼ (pesuto jenovēze), from Italian pesto alla genovese.

Noun

ペスト • (pesuto) 

  1. (food) pesto (Italian sauce)

Etymology 3

Borrowed from English Pest, from Hungarian Pest.

A borrowing directly from Hungarian is extremely unlikely, as the Hungarian pronunciation of /pɛʃt/ would result in a Japanese rendering of ペシュト (peshuto) instead.
