Brit.

/rə(ʊ)ˈmeɪn/, U.S.

/roʊˈmeɪn/

Forms: 1800s romain (irregular), 1800s– romaine.

Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymons: French romaine, romain.

Etymology: In sense A. 1 < French romaine (although this is apparently first attested slightly later in this sense: 1829 in punch à la romaine , literally ‘punch in Roman style’; 1843 in punch romaine ; earlier as punch romain (1797)), feminine of romain Roman adj.¹ (see note below for the semantic motivation). The use as noun in this sense is unparalleled in French. In sense A. 2 < French romaine, noun (1800), short for laitue romaine (1567 in Middle French; < laitue lettuce n. + romaine , feminine of romain Roman adj.¹): see note below. It is unclear whether the uses as noun in sense A. 3 (compare later crêpe romaine n. at crêpe n. Compounds) and as adjective reflect parallel uses in French.In sense A. 1, the punch is so called because it was first made in the Papal kitchens at Rome. In sense A. 2, the lettuce was probably so called on account of its origin in the region of Rome; an alternative suggestion that it was introduced via the Papal court at Avignon during the time of the Schism in the 14th cent. is not supported by the chronology of attestation. In romaine lettuce after French laitue romaine (see above).
