Etymology: "Junket" began as the name of a dish, a sweetened curd served on a rush mat or in a rush basket. It comes from Old French "jonquette", a diminutive of "jonc", meaning "rush", which goes back to Latin "juncus". The name then moved from the food to the feasts where it was served, and eventually to any lavish outing, especially one paid for by someone else. "Junketed" is the past tense of the verb formed from that noun, describing a group that enjoyed such an outing together.

Synonyms: vacationed, traveled, excursioned
