Word origin

The word 'saucer' originated in the late 18th century from the Old French word 'sauce', meaning dish or plate. It was first used to refer to the small dish placed under a teacup to catch drips and spills. The term later became associated with UFO sightings in the mid-20th century due to the resemblance of flying saucers to the shape of a saucer.
