chained_bear commented on the word condimentum
"Odd as the idea might seem, then, from the ancient world and through the Middle Ages spices smelled not only of other worlds but of worlds to come. In some unrecoverable sense, just as the wealthy dead smelled of spices, so spices smelled of death. The overlap was particularly pronounced in Latin, since the vocabulary was the same. To prepare a corpse for burial was literally to 'season' or 'spice' it, condire, whence condimentum, or seasoning. Moreover, the materials used on the embalmed were standard kitchen seasonings."
--Jack Turner, _Spice: The History of a Temptation_ (NY: Alfred A. Knopf, 2004), 157-158
