Borrowed from Yiddish פּאַסטראַמע‎ (pastrame), from Romanian pastramă, from Ottoman Turkish باصدرمه‎ (modern Turkish pastırma), [1] [2] [3] a variation of bastırma(“dried meat”), from root bas-(“to press”). It is sometimes claimed that the origin of the Turkish word is Greek παστώνω(pastóno, “I salt”), from Ancient Greek παστός(pastós, “sprinkled with salt, salted”). The English spelling ending in -mi is probably from the influence of salami.

highly seasoned smoked beef, 1916, from Yiddish pastrame, from Rumanian pastrama, probably from Turkish pastrima, variant of basdirma "dried meat," from root *bas- "to press." Another possible origin of the Rumanian word [Barnhart] is Modern Greek pastono "I salt," from classical Greek pastos "sprinkled with salt, salted." The spelling in English with -mi probably from influence of salami.
