Pronunciation: /ˈsækeɪ/ / /ˈsɑːkeɪ/ / /ˈsæki/

noun

Etymology: Borrowed from Japanese 酒 (sake, “rice wine”), where the final e is accented to indicate that it is pronounced where it would usually remain silent in other senses of sake, as well as to differentiate it. Likely influenced by French saké.

  1. Rice wine; a drink made from filtered fermented rice.
