cicoree

Cicoree is an obscure English word whose precise meaning and usage could not be verified with confidence at the time of writing. It appears to be related to the family of words surrounding chicory, a plant whose bitter leaves and roasted root have long been used in salads and as a coffee substitute, and it likely descends through French forms of the same name. Because attested examples of cicoree in modern English texts are scarce or absent from major dictionaries, readers should treat this entry as provisional rather than authoritative. Anyone encountering the word in historical or dialectal sources is advised to consult the context carefully, as its sense may correspond to chicory itself, its root, or a related preparation.
