mayonnaise
UK: ˌmeɪ.əˈneɪz | US: ˈmeɪ.ə.neɪz
n. a thick, creamy dressing or sauce made from oil, egg yolks, and vinegar or lemon juice, often flavored with mustard or other seasonings.
The word "mayonnaise" is believed to have originated in the mid-18th century, possibly named after the city of Mahon (Maó) in Menorca, Spain. French forces under the Duke of Richelieu allegedly encountered a local egg-and-oil sauce during their occupation of the city in 1756 and brought the recipe back to France, where it was adapted and popularized. The suffix -aise is a common French ending for sauces (e.g., béarnaise). Over time, the spelling evolved to "mayonnaise," reflecting its French culinary association.
