/ˈpɒrɪdʒ//ˈpɔːrɪdʒ/

The word "porridge" has a long and interesting history. The term originates from the Old French word "porrege", which is derived from the Latin "purgare", meaning "to clean" or "to purge". This refers to the process of purifying or washing grains to create a smooth, consistent food. In the 14th century, the word "porridge" emerged in Middle English, initially referring to a thick, hot cereal made from oats, barley, or wheat. Over time, the term expanded to include other breakfast foods, such as wheat porridge (oatmeal) and rice porridge (congee). Today, the term "porridge" is often associated with a warm, comforting breakfast dish, typically made from grain-based ingredients like oats, barley, or rice. Despite its evolution, the word remains connected to its original Latin roots, hinting at the idea of purifying and refining ingredients to create a nourishing meal.
