The word "savory" comes from the Old French word "savoureux," meaning "tasty" or "flavorful." It's ultimately derived from the Latin "sapor," meaning "flavor" or "taste." "Savory" first appeared in English in the 14th century, and initially referred to something having a pleasant taste, particularly something salty. Over time, its meaning broadened to include anything flavorful and non-sweet, contrasting with "sweet" in the culinary sense.
