Etymology
Meaning
A thick soup or stew, typically made from vegetables, meat, or fish.
Origin
The word "potage" first appeared in French in the 17th century, derived from the word "pot" (meaning "pot") and the suffix "-age" (denoting a collection or quantity). It originally referred to any type of soup or stew cooked in a pot, but over time it came to specifically refer to thick soups made from vegetables, meat, or fish.
In English, the word "potage" was first borrowed from French in the 18th century. It is still used today to refer to thick soups or stews, although it is less common than other words such as "soup" or "stew."
