umami

From Japanese 旨味, うまみ (umami), from 旨い (umai, “delicious”), which describes the quality of a pleasant, savory taste.

Umami is the mysterious “fifth taste”—a flavour that has never seemed to fit into the existing categories of sweet, sour, salty and bitter. South-east Asian chefs have exploited it throughout history—it's an essential part of the taste of seaweed, among other things[…]

2000 January 28, Oliver Burkeman, “Things that make you go yum”, in The Guardian, →ISSN:

But we are, of course, sweaty, fleshy lady-animals – all fur and umami.

I quickly realized that I have always been obsessed with umami; I just didn't know it. It's why a sprinkle of Parm on just about anything heightens that dish's flavor; it's why grilled smoky mushrooms taste so good. Umami is a deeply satisfying taste, and luckily for us, umami is everywhere—it's in tomatoes and soy sauce, fresh and dried mushrooms, aged cheese, nutritional yeast […]

2019, Raquel Pelzel, Umami Bomb: 75 Vegetarian Recipes That Explode with Flavor, Workman Publishing, →ISBN, page 2:

Negerhollands: proev, pruf, pruev

→ Papiamentu: pruf

From Middle Dutch proeven (13th c.). Ultimately from Latin probāre and hence a doublet of proberen. Probably borrowed from Old French prover, although the umlaut in Middle Low German prö̂ven, northern Middle High German prüeven may also hint at a (regionally restricted) Proto-West Germanic *prōfijan, from Vulgar Latin. In modern Dutch dialects, the vocalism generally coincides with the isogloss for umlaut on long vowels (western proeve(n) vs. Brabantian/Kleverlandish pruve(n), Limburgish preuve). Compare German prüfen.

Dat ziet er lekker uit. Mag ik dat even proeven?

That looks tasty. May I taste a bit of it?

(transitive) to taste (something), to test or detect by tasting
