Diogenes Dec 2022 11:48am, 6 Dec 2022 74,832 posts	Quote Pin Diogenes GRAVY is thought to derive from and Old French word, ‘grané’, that likely meant ‘seasoned’ or “well flavoured’. The N in ‘grané’ was likely misread for a U or a V in the Middle English period, and the mistake has remained in place ever since.
