Etymology
Adobo comes from the Spanish verb adobar, which means 'to marinate' or 'to season'. It originally named meat or fish soaked in a strong sauce, so today adobo is the name for dishes that are marinated and cooked in a seasoned sauce, often served with rice in Filipino and Latin American cooking.
