Spice them up with a root spice. An historical-linguistic analysis of selected root spices names from Compendium ferculorum by Stanislaw Czerniecki

Summary/Abstract: The article is focused on the names of selected root spices taken from the oldest Polish cookbook, which is Compendium ferculorum by Stanisław Czerniecki. The paper briefly describes the importance of roots spices in Polish cuisine in the Baroque era, how the name of root spices was understood by the author of the cookbook and which products he included in this group. In the following part, four names of root spices were extracted: goździki, gałka muszkatołowa, kwiat muszkatołowy and migdał (cloves, nutmeg, nutmeg flower and almond), and then described on the basis of information contained in the Compendium ferculorum. This is followed by a historical and linguistic analysis including considerations of the etymology of the lexemes mentioned. The work ends with a part in which, on the basis of historical language dictionaries and dictionaries of the Polish language, linguistic changes (phonetic, semantic and word-formation) occurring over the centuries within the lexemes mentioned above are traced.
