Where it comes from
Ratatouille is the signature dish of Nice, in Provence, and grew out of country cooking with summer garden vegetables. The name first shows up in the late 18th century and the first known recipe in the 19th, though the dish is probably older. It comes from two French verbs, ratouiller and tatouiller, both about stirring and shaking things up.
