The word "relishes" originated in the Middle English period from the word "reles" or "releshe", which was borrowed from Old French "reles" meaning "something remaining, surplus, or residue". This Old French term was derived from the Latin "residualis" meaning "remaining", which is derived from "residuus" or "residere", meaning "to remain behind". Over time, "reles" evolved into "relish" in English, which referred to any kind of appetizer, condiment, or sauce used to enhance the flavor of food. Eventually, the plural form "relishes" emerged to refer to various types of flavorful accompaniments.
