Word Origins Dictionary
- suet[suet 词源字典]
- suet: [14] Suet goes back ultimately to Latin sēbum ‘tallow’, which also produced English sebaceous [18]. This passed into Anglo-Norman as seu or sue, of which a presumed diminutive form *sewet gave English suet.
=> sebaceous[suet etymology, suet origin, 英语词源] - suet (n.)
- late 14c., "solid fat formed in the torsos of cattle and sheep," probably from an Anglo-French diminutive of Old French siu "fat, lard, grease, tallow" (Modern French suif), from Latin sebum "tallow, grease" (see sebum). Related: Suety.
