@very-rusty saidWe learn British English here. In Swedish, marsipan is pronounced with stress on the last vowel.

@badradger saidWho invented marzipan?
marzipan
Lübeck, Germany
The invention of marzipan is usually attributed to Lübeck, Germany. Legend has it that during a 15th century famine when flour for making bread became scarce, the senate of Lübeck ordered bakers to create a replacement. Using eggs, sugar, and stores of almonds, the clever bakers came up with marzipan.
