the.com/lamb stew

means A slow-cooked dish of lamb meat with vegetables and broth, simmered until the meat softens and the flavors meld together.

from The word 'lamb' traces back to Old English 'lamb', a word shared with other Germanic languages, originally meaning simply the young of the sheep. 'Stew' comes from Old French 'estuver' (to bathe, to soak in hot water), itself possibly descended from a Vulgar Latin word related to steam or heat — the same root that gives us 'stove.' Medieval cooks used stewing pots set over gentle heat to turn tough cuts tender, and the dish's name has stayed almost as plain and practical as the method itself ever since.
