Where this word comes from

From keittää (“to boil, to cook”) + -o; original literal sense “boiling, cooking”. * (soup): Referring to the fact that most soups (at least in Finnish cuisine) are prepared by boiling ingredients in water (or another liquid). In Old Literary Finnish, the term was still more broad, referring to any boiled dish in general. * (booze): From the sense “to brew” of keittää on the one hand and the sense “soup” (euphemistically and/or humorously) on the other.
