degust \dih-GUHST\ verb 1. to taste or savor carefully or appreciatively. Quotes Although this dish has been degusted by our great great grandfathers, and has been for upwards of a century one of the strongest pillars of the art, I shall here describe it, as an old proverb justly reminds me that a good thing can never get old. -- Alexis Soyer, The Gastronomic Regenerator, 1846 Origin Degust can be traced to the Latin word gustāre meaning "to taste." It entered English in the early 1600s.
