Etymology

The term 'interlarding' has its origins in the combination of the prefix 'inter-' meaning 'between' or 'among', and the root word 'lard', which historically referred to the practice of enriching or embellishing something. The use of the word evolved as a figurative expression, where 'larding' implied adding something extra to enhance the quality or flavor of a narrative or piece of writing. It reflects the practice of mixing, embedding, or interjecting additional elements into a base text. The term is primarily used in literary contexts, where writers enhance the depth of their work by including various forms of additional commentary, descriptions, or relevant information.
