🌳Etymology
Origin
The word originates from Latin 'jus', which meant 'broth' or 'meat juice'. Originally used by ancient Romans to describe savory meat stock, the term gradually expanded over time to encompass the liquid extracted from fruits and vegetables.
Breakdown
jus (Latin: broth, liquid) + -ice (Old French suffix forming nouns). The Latin 'jus' was adopted into Old French as 'jus', eventually developing into the English 'juice' through phonetic evolution and the addition of the diminutive or nominal suffix.
