a whole onion's tears wrung out, dried, and ground into shameless flavor
means a fine, dry seasoning made from dehydrated onions ground into a powder, used to add onion flavor without the chopping or moisture.
from A plain compound of "onion" and "powder." "Onion" comes through Old French "oignon" from Latin "unio" — a word that meant both "onion" and "pearl," possibly because of the layered, rounded bulb (and perhaps a nod to oneness, "unus," the single bulb versus garlic's many cloves). "Powder" comes from Old French "poudre," from Latin "pulvis," meaning dust. The dried, ground product itself belongs to the modern era of food dehydration and commercial spice-grinding.
