-ade

English language suffix for drinks

A glass of limeade

-ade is a suffix used for a fruit- (typically citrus) flavored beverage. These drinks may be carbonated or non-carbonated. Widespread examples include lemonade, cherryade, limeade, and orangeade. It is often mixed with water.

Variants of the suffix have been used in brand names, including Kool-Aid and Flavor Aid from the 1920s. It is a popular naming convention with sports drinks, starting with Lucozade, first manufactured in 1927 under the name Glucozade and renamed Lucozade in 1929. Other examples include Powerade, Accelerade, Staminade, Sporade, and Gatorade.

The suffix is more formally used to denote an action, or a product of an action, for example with the word "blockade" meaning a physical barrier that was created with the intention of blocking.

Etymology

The suffix -ade originates from the Latin -ata, which is a past participle used for forming nouns. It was introduced to English in the word lemonade, a loanword taken from the French limonade.
