Mayonnaise is a thick, pale sauce. The usual homemade kind is raw egg beaten slowly with oil until it turns creamy; a little lemon juice or vinegar and salt go in too. People put it on sandwiches, mix it through potato salad or , and use it as a dip. Jars from the shop are the everyday version — they keep longer and often use pasteurised egg. Though actually, not every white sandwich sauce is mayonnaise: some places sell a sweeter, pourable salad cream, and garlic-heavy aioli is a cousin, not the same thing. The word is borrowed as-is from French mayonnaise. Scholars do not all agree where the French name came from. It may be named after Maó (Mahón) on the island of , from a sauce brought back to France — Spanish has mahonesa. Other suggestions include the French city of Bayonne (as if it were bayonnaise), the Duke of Mayenne, the French verb manier (“to handle”), or Old French moyeu (“egg ”). None of these is certain, so it is fair to say: we took the word from French, and the place-name story is only a maybe. In careful English the full word feels a bit long and formal; in speech people often switch to mayo.
組成unadapted borrowing from French mayonnaise, possibly named after Maó (Mahón) on Minorca; other origins (Bayonne, the Duke of Mayenne, manier, moyeu) have been suggested and none is certain
