Correct answer: The shallow, flat frying pan used for cooking

The word paella actually derives from the Old French word paelle, which means pan. In Valencia, the word refers to the wide, shallow iron pan with handles on both sides. The dish took the name of the vessel it was cooked in. Today, locals still use the word paella for the pan itself, though others sometimes call it a paellera.
