where did the word cottage cheese come from
Cottage cheese The first known use of the term "cottage cheese" dates back to 1831.[1] It is believed to have originated because the simple cheese was usually made in cottages from any milk left over after making butter.[citation needed]
Foreign language influences in English The French contributed legal, military, technological, and political terminology. Their language also contributed common words, such as the names of meats: veal, mutton, beef, pork, and how food was prepared: boil, broil, fry, roast, and stew; as well as words related to the nobility: prince, duke, marquess, viscount, baron, and their feminine equivalents.[6]:254-258 Nearly 40 percent of English words (in an 80,000 word dictionary) may be of French origin.
