古フランス語のrelaisser（残す、残る）から、ラテン語のrelaxare（緩める、手放す）から、re（後戻りする、離れる）、laxare（緩める）、語源的にはlax（緩む、弛緩する、解放する）と同じ。後にtaste（味）、aftertaste（後味）から派生し、調味料、調味料を指すようになり、「楽しむ」、「好む」という動詞の意味にも使われるようになった。

relish

relish: [16] Ultimately, relax [15], release [13], and relish are all the same word. They go back to Latin relaxāre ‘loosen’, a compound verb formed from the prefix re- ‘back’ and laxāre, a derivative of laxus ‘loose’ (from which English gets languish [13] and lax [14]). Relax was acquired from the Latin verb itself, while release came via Old French relaisser (the notion of ‘loosening’ having led on to ‘letting go’). Relish came from Old French relais, a noun derived from relaisser; the sense ‘taste’ came from the idea of what is ‘released’ or ‘left behind’ after the food or drink has been swallowed.
