{{wiktionary}}
The word "potpourri" comes into English from the [[French language|French]] word {{lang|fr|pot-pourri}}. The French term has two connotations. It is the French name for a [[Spain|Spanish]] stew with a wide variety of ingredients called {{lang|es|[[olla podrida]]}}, a specialty of the city of [[Burgos]].{{Citation needed|date=January 2022|reason=The Merriam Webster source has no mention of Burgos, let alone that it is a specialty. This information is not cited elsewhere in the article either.}} The word {{lang|fr|pot}} in French has the same meaning as it does in English (and as {{lang|es|[[olla]]}} does in Spanish), while the word {{lang|fr|pourri}}, like Spanish {{lang|es|podrida}}, means "rotten".<ref>{{Cite web|title=The Putrid Origin of 'Potpourri'|url=https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/the-putrid-origin-of-potpourri|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161215144005/https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/the-putrid-origin-of-potpourri|archive-date=2016-12-15|access-date=2022-01-03|website=Merriam-Webster}}</ref>
