Word History

Although caviar might seem to be something quintessentially Russian, the word caviar is not, the native Russian tern is ikra. Caviar first came into the English language during the 16th century, probably by way of French and Italian, which borrowed it from the Turkish work havyar. The source of the Turkish word is apparently an Iranian dialectal form related to the Persian word for egg, khayah, and this in turn goes back to the same Indo-European root that gives us the English words egg and oval.
