/ˈzesti//ˈzesti/

"Zesty" comes from the word "zest," which has roots in the Old French "zeste," meaning "peel." This word was originally used to refer to the outer peel of citrus fruits, particularly lemons and oranges. The "zest" was valued for its strong, aromatic qualities, which were used in cooking and perfumes. Over time, the word "zesty" evolved to describe anything that had a similar strong, lively, and invigorating quality, much like the aroma and flavor of citrus zest.
