Aperitivo - 365words

Today’s word is aperitivo. It’s the Italian word for a ritual of going out for a pre-dinner drink. Early evening, finished work, ready to wind down. It’s also the name for a pre-dinner drink. Aperitivo comes from the Latin word “to open”. The effect of something tasty, making you water at the mouth, is literally described as something that “opens your stomach”. That’s exactly what an aperitivo is for; getting ready to enjoy your upcoming meal. Thanks to Serena for suggesting this word: / shesinastro

We also have aperitivo in spanish. But I think it's more commonly used for a pre-lunch drink or food too.
