Etymology
The word 'ade' comes from the French suffix '-ade', which is used to form nouns that indicate a beverage or a kind of action. It is derived from the Latin word 'ada', meaning 'to give', and has been used in English since the mid-19th century to denote various fruit-based drinks. The concept of iced beverages has been around for centuries, with roots in ancient civilizations that mixed flavors and sweeteners to create refreshing drinks. Over time, the term 'ade' evolved to become associated primarily with non-alcoholic, sweetened fruit drinks, particularly enjoyed during the warm seasons. Common varieties include lemonade and limeade, reflecting a broader cultural trend in the West of creating refreshing summer beverages.
