sundae
UK: ˈsʌndeɪ | US: ˈsʌndeɪ
n. a dessert consisting of ice cream topped with syrup, fruit, nuts, whipped cream, or other toppings.
The word "sundae" is believed to have originated in the late 19th century in the United States. One popular theory suggests it was created as a variation of "Sunday," either because it was initially sold only on Sundays (due to blue laws restricting ice cream sodas on that day) or as a playful spelling alteration to avoid religious connotations. The "sun" morpheme reflects the original "Sunday" connection, while the "-dae" ending is a creative respelling of "day."
