Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum

Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

The term combines 'fusion' (from Latin fusio, meaning a pouring out or melting together, adopted into English in the 14th century) and 'cuisine' (borrowed from French in the mid-18th century, ultimately from Latin coquere, meaning to cook). Together, the phrase emerged in the late 20th century within the culinary arts to describe the innovative blending of culinary traditions from distinct cultures.
