means The practice or art of preparing and cooking food.
from Built from 'cook' plus the suffix '-ery' (the same one that gives us 'bakery' and 'brewery'), marking a place, practice, or body of skill. 'Cook' itself traces back through Old English 'coc' to Latin 'coquus' (a cook) and the verb 'coquere,' meaning to cook or ripen — a root that also simmers quietly inside words like 'concoct' and 'precocious.'
