Etymology
The word 'interlarded' originates from the Middle English term 'interlarden', which is derived from the Latin 'interlardare', meaning 'to mix thoroughly'. The prefix 'inter-' suggests 'between' or 'among', while 'lardare' comes from 'lard', which in this context implies enriching or embellishing. Historically, the term was used to describe the practice of adding lard to meat for flavor, thus evolving into a broader metaphorical use in literature and speech to denote the addition of various elements for enhancement. The use of 'interlarded' in literary contexts became more prominent in the 18th and 19th centuries, as writers sought to draw connections between diverse ideas and embellish their works with additional layers of meaning.
