英语词汇brulee的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	brulee
词源	brulee adj. from French brûlée "burned," fem. past participle of brûler "to burn," from Old French brusler (11c.); see broil (v.1). Crème brûlée was known in English by various names from early 18c., including a translated burnt cream. Entries linking to brulee broil v.1 "to cook (meat) by direct action of heat," late 14c. (earlier "to burn," mid-14c.), from Old French bruller "to broil, roast" (Modern French brûler), earlier brusler "to burn" (11c.), which, with Italian bruciare, is of uncertain and much-disputed origin. Perhaps from Vulgar Latin *brodum "broth," borrowed from Germanic and ultimately related to brew (v.). Gamillscheg proposes it to be from Latin ustulare "to scorch, singe" (from ustus, past participle of urere "to burn") and altered by influence of Germanic "burn" words beginning in br-. From 1610 as "to be very hot." Related: Broiled; broiling. creme n. French crème (see cream (n.)), used in various names of syrupy liqueurs in English from 1821, in phrases in English cookery books from 1845. For crème brûlée, see brulee. updated on August 12, 2017
