Etymology

The word 'lardier' is derived from the noun 'lard,' which comes from the Old French term 'lard' meaning 'fat' or 'bacon.' This Old French word is believed to have origins in the Latin word 'larida,' which means 'fat of a pig.' The usage of the term has evolved over time, often reflecting culinary practices that emphasize the richness and flavor that lard can provide to various dishes. In modern cooking, lard has seen a resurgence in popularity, particularly among those who seek natural fats for their cooking. The addition of 'ier' as a suffix in English typically denotes an increase or degree of the base word, thus 'lardier' implies a greater presence of lard compared to other variants.
