The word ratatouille derives from the Occitan ratatolha and is related to the French ratouiller and tatouiller, expressive forms of the verb touiller, meaning "to stir up".
Now I understand why some French people object when they see ratatouille perfectly arranged as disks of vegetables...unstirred.
