Definition of gravy

gravynoun

nước sốt

/ˈɡreɪvi//ˈɡreɪvi/

The origin of the word "gravy" can be traced back to the Middle English word "gravee," which meant "sauce" or "juice extracted from meat." This word was adopted from the Old French word "gravée," which meant "gravy" or "sauce made from broth." In turn, the Old French word may have been derived from the Latin word "grabātum," which meant "sauce" or "seasoning for meat." However, the exact origin of the Latin word is uncertain, and it may have been borrowed from a Celtic language spoken in Gaul (present-day France). In any case, the word "gravy" has a rich history, reflecting the evolution of English cuisine and culinary terminology over the centuries. Today, "gravy" is a familiar term in English-speaking cultures, referring to the savory sauce made from meat drippings and seasonings that is often served over roasted meats or mashed potatoes.
