To cook food quickly in a small amount of hot fat or oil over high heat, stirring or tossing it frequently until browned or cooked through.
Where the word comes from
From French *sauté*, the past participle of *sauter*, meaning "to jump" or "to leap." The cooking technique gets its name because food is quickly tossed and flipped in a hot pan, as if jumping. The French verb itself comes from Latin *saltare*, meaning "to dance" or "to jump," which is also the root of English "salt" (as in the old salt-throwing dance) and related to "salacious."
