Origin and Evolution of fricassee

First Known Use: 1555 year

Language of Origin: French

Story behind the word: The word 'fricassee' originated from the French word 'frire' which means 'to fry' and 'casser' which means 'to break'. It refers to a dish made by cutting meat into pieces and braising it in a sauce.
