Word Origin
- sauté
- sauté: [19] If you sauté something, you are etymologically making it ‘jump’. The word comes from the past participle of French sauter ‘jump’, a descendant of Latin saltāre ‘jump’. This in turn was derived from salīre ‘jump’, which has given English assail, insult, salacious, salient, etc. In the cookery sense sauter is used causatively, to ‘make something jump’, hence to ‘toss’ it in a frying pan.=> assault, insult, result, salacious, salient
