Dried ground pepper is one of the most common spices in Europeancuisine and its descendants, having been known and prized since antiquity for both its flavour and its use as amedicine. The spiciness of black pepper is due to the chemicalpiperine. Ground black peppercorn, usually referred to simply as "pepper", may be found on nearly every dinner table in some parts of the world, often alongsidetable salt.
The word "pepper" is derived from theSanskritpippali, the word forlong pepper via theLatinpiper which was used by the Romans to refer both to pepper and long pepper, as the Romans erroneously believed that both of these spices were derived from the same plant. The English word for pepper is derived from theOld Englishpipor. The Latin word is also the source ofGermanpfeffer,Frenchpoivre,Dutchpeper, and other similar forms. In the 16th century,pepper started referring to the unrelatedNew Worldchile peppers as well. "Pepper" was used in a figurative sense to mean "spirit" or "energy" at least as far back as the 1840s; in the early 20th century, this was shortened topep.(Full article...)
