What is nutmeg?
Commonly, most of us will recognise grounded nutmeg as a spice. In fact, the nutmeg comes from the Myristica Fragrans, a tropical evergreen tree indigenous to the Banda Islands in the Moluccas (or Spice Islands) of Indonesia.
A brief history lesson
It’s unclear exactly when nutmeg was first discovered, however we do know that as early as the 6th century A.D., nutmeg was traded in the Greek colony, Byzantium which was later known as Constantinople, which we now call Istanbul.
It’s believed that the spice travelled as far as Rome, where it was not only sold as a flavouring but was known more for its health benefits and powers as an aphrodisiac.
What does nutmeg mean?
Quite simply, nutmeg’s meaning, according to the Oxford English dictionary is the hard, aromatic, almost spherical seed of a tropical tree. Though, football fans will recognise this to be the art of deceiving the opposition by knocking the ball between a player’s legs.
However, this popular phrase derives from the nutmeg trade. Because of their origin, nutmegs were seen as an expensive commodity, so devious exporters would try to trick customers by mixing wooden replicas in sacks that were shipped to England. So, nutmegging is simply to trick or deceive the opponent.
