piccalilliとは 意味・読み方・使い方

別の表記

• picalilli

語源

Unknown. First use appears c. 1758. Presumably a variant of pickle, which itself is from 中期英語 pekille (“spicy sauce served with meat or fish”) or pikel, from Middle Dutch pekel (“brine”); perhaps influenced by dialectal variants. Alternatively, it may be related to paco lilla (“ginger-spiced pickle”), from the 18th century British cookbook The Art of Cookery (1747–1843; e.g., 1805 edition) by Hannah Glasse (1708–1770), also referred to as Indian pickles, which suggests an Indo-Aryan source; compare mulligatawny, of Tamil origin, which also features turmeric prominently, and curry, of Tamil or 中期英語 origin (or a blend). Not etymologically related to Piccadilly.
