Etymology
Minestrone comes from the Italian minestra, meaning 'soup', from minestrare 'to serve', and is from the same root as minister 'servant'. The ending -one makes it larger, so minestrone literally means a 'large served soup', which explains why the word refers to the thick, hearty Italian soup we eat today.
