potpourri 百花香，集锦，大杂烩

来自法语pot pourri,炖罐，肉罐，来自拉丁语putere,腐烂，变烂，词源同putrefy.一种比喻用法，用于形容各种肉在一起乱炖，引申词义大杂烩，集锦，后用于指百花香囊。

potpourri (n.): also pot-pourri, 1610s, "mixed meats served in a stew," from French pot pourri "stew," literally "rotten pot" (loan-translation of Spanish olla podrida), from pourri, past participle of pourrir "to rot," from Vulgar Latin *putrire, from Latin putrescere "grow rotten" (see putrescent). Notion of "medley" led to meaning "mixture of dried flowers and spices," first recorded in English 1749. Figurative sense (originally in music) of "miscellaneous collection" is recorded from 1855.
