words - Pas (Pat) vs Lechem


In Tanach/Mishna/Gemara sometimes the word Pas is used, and sometimes Lechem.


Do Chazal say anything about when and why one is used vs the other?


Edit I was asked for an example: In Mishna Brachos Chapter 6 Mishna 1 it says


"... except for bread [Pas] [where one says] 'Hamotzi Lechem min Ha'aretz' ..."


(sorry - not sure how to type Hebrew easily.)
