hỗn hợp thơm
/ˌpəʊpʊˈriː//ˌpəʊpʊˈriː/The word "potpourri" has a fascinating origin. It comes from the French language, specifically from the 17th century. "Pot" means "pot" or "vessel," while "pourri" means "rotten" or "spoiled." Initially, the term referred to a mixture of spoiled or rotting flowers, leaves, and herbs that were combined to create a strong-smelling concoction. In the 17th century, wealthy households would collect and store these decaying plant materials in pots to create a floral arrangement that could be used to freshen the air and fragrance their homes. The mixture was believed to have medicinal properties, too! Over time, the term "potpourri" came to be associated with a mixture of dried flowers, herbs, and spices used to create a pleasant aroma, rather than the original spoiled ingredients.
