`WORD HISTORY: Although caviar might seem to be something
`quintessentially Russian. the word caviar is not a native one, the
`Russian term being ikra. Caviar first came into English in the 16th
`century, probably by way of French and Italian, which, along with
`other European languages, borrowed it from Turkish havyar. The
`source of the Turkish word is apparently an Iranian dialectal form
`related to the Persian word for “egg," khdyah, and this in turn
`goes back to the same Indo-European root that gives us the Eng—
`lish words egg and oval. This rather exotic etymology is appro-
`priate to a substance that is not to everyone’s taste, giving rise to
`Shakespeare’s famous phrase, ”‘twas caviary to the general," the
`general public, that is.
