Word origin

The word 'tenderloin' has its roots in the combination of 'tender,' which comes from the Old French 'tendre,' meaning soft or delicate, and 'loin,' which is derived from the Latin word 'lumbus,' meaning 'loins' or 'lower back.' The term 'tenderloin' first appeared in English around the 19th century, reflecting both the physical qualities of this cut of meat and its anatomical origins. Originally associated with beef, the term has since diversified to include similar cuts from other animals, like pork and chicken. The culinary use of the term has evolved, with tenderloin becoming synonymous with premium quality and tenderness in a wide array of meat dishes, highlighting not only the butchery craft but also the appreciation for flavorful, succulent meat.
