ETYMOLOGY DICTIONARY
- ouzo (n.)
- liquor flavored with aniseed, 1898, from Mod.Gk. ouzo, of uncertain origin. One theory [OED] is that it derives from It. uso Massalia, lit. "for Marsailles," which was stamped on selected packages of silkworm cocoons being shipped from Thessaly, and came to be taken for "of superior quality."
