Etymology: "Favourings" is the plural of "favouring", so it inherits its history from the verb "favour". The noun "favouring" grew out of that verb, and in its culinary sense it names the flavouring or scenting ingredients that give a dish its distinctive character. Its base word, "favour", came into English from Old French "favor", which itself descends from Latin "favor", meaning goodwill or partiality.
