WORD WISE: Interlard comes from Middle French entrelarder,
from Old French, from entre, "between" (from Latin inter-)
+ larder, "to lard," from larde, "lard," from Latin lardum.
The original sense of the word, now obsolete, was "to place
lard or bacon amongst; to mix, as fat meat with lean."

QUOTE: "At home, she made herself understood in Friulian,
but on jaunts with her mother around the village,
conversations were interlarded with Italian, German, and
Slovenian."
