Definition of truffle
trufflenoun
nấm cục
/ˈtrʌfl//ˈtrʌfl/The word "truffle" has a fascinating history! The term originated in the 14th century from the Italian word "taruffolo," which referred to a type of mushroom-like fungus. This term is derived from the Latin word "tuber," meaning " swelling" or "bulb." In the 16th century, the French adopted the word "truffe" to describe the prized conical-shaped fungi that grow underground in specific regions of France and Italy. The word's association with luxury and exclusivity grew as truffles became a symbol of fine dining and haute cuisine. Today, the word "truffle" evokes images of gourmet delights, exquisite flavors, and indulgent culinary experiences.
