GRAVY

This article appears in Volume V12, Page 390 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GRA-GUI
GRAVY , a word usually confined to the natural juices which come from
meat
  during cooking. In early uses (in the New
English
  Dictionary the quotations date from the end of the 14th to the beginning of the 16th centuries) it meant a sauce of broth flavoured with spices and almonds. The more
modern
  usage seems to date from the end of the 16th
century
 . The word is obscure in origin. It has been connected with "
graves
 " or " greaves," the refuse of tallow in the manufacture of soap or candles. The more probable derivation is from the
French
 . In Old
French
  the word is almost certainly
gram
 , and is derived
from
grain
 , " something used in cooking." The word was early read and spelled with a u or v instead of n, and the corruption was adopted in
English
 .
