meringuen.¹

Brit.

/məˈraŋ/, U.S.

/məˈræŋ/

Forms: 1700s– meringue, 1800s marang (rare), 1800s– merengue (rare).

Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French meringue.

Etymology: < French meringue (1691); further etymology uncertain.Perhaps related to post-classical Latin meringa (in an undated document from Artois cited in Du Cange), and classical Latin merenda (see merenda n.; compare merienda n.), both of which mean ‘afternoon meal’ (without, however, any connotations of delicacy or luxury). For a summary of these and of other explanations which have been advanced see Trésor de la langue française s.v. meringue. Compare probable loans < French in other languages: German Meringe , Meringue (18th cent.; also early 19th cent. in form Meringel : compare marrangle n.), Spanish merengue (c1760), Italian meringa (1850 as marenga ). In form merengue probably after Spanish merengue. N.E.D. (1906) gives the non-naturalized pronunciation (məræṅg) /məræ̃ɡ/, but other evidence suggests that this was by then a rather conservative realization: Cent. Dict. (1890) gives the equivalent of /məˈræŋɡ/, and H. Michaelis & D. Jones Phonetic Dict. Eng. Lang. (1913) give /məˈræŋ/, while various editions of Webster, and occasional variant spellings such as that in quot. 1861 at sense 1a, imply that the naturalization of the final consonant cluster to /ŋ/ had progressed even more quickly in the United States than in Britain.

a. A light mixture of stiffly beaten egg whites and sugar, baked until crisp; a shell or other item of confectionery made of this mixture, typically decorated or filled with whipped cream.In some recipes, esp. when meringue is used as a topping, cooking of the mixture is stopped before it is completely crisp: cf. snow n.¹ 5a.
