'vinegarize' originates from the English word 'vinegar,' which comes from the Old French 'vinaigre,' meaning 'sour wine.'

'vinaigre' transformed into the Middle English word 'vinegre,' and eventually became the modern English word 'vinegar.'

Initially, it meant 'sour wine,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'a sour liquid used for flavoring or preserving.'
