It's been suggested that porray and porridge may derive from the
French word for leeks, whereas puree may refer to homogeneity, as in
purify.
Interestingly enough (to me, anyway), the modern culinary French
definition of "potage" is not synonymous with "pottage": the former
is a specific type of soup, while the latter is a generic term.
