Etymology

The word 'buttery' originates from the Old French word 'buttere,' derived from 'butter,' which traces back to the Latin 'butyrum.' The concept of something being buttery relates directly to the culinary use of butter, which has been used since ancient times as a cooking and flavoring agent. As language evolved, so did the forms of words related to butter, leading to comparative and superlative forms such as 'buttery,' 'more buttery,' and 'butteriest.' The transition into English allowed the term to retain its link to the rich, creamy characteristics of butter, completely transforming into an adjective that describes not just butter itself but other rich food textures and flavors that evoke the same sensations.
