Root Explanation

**Entrecote** → The word originates from French *entrecôte*, which is derived from *entre* (meaning between) and *côte* (meaning rib). It refers to a cut of meat that is taken from between the ribs, specifically a steak cut from the rib area of the animal.

Memory Tip

Imagine a steak that comes from 'between' the 'ribs' — that's why entrecote refers to this specific cut of meat.
