The term "saucepan" derives from the combination of "sauce" and "pan." The word "sauce" comes from the Latin "salsus," meaning salted, which refers to the liquid used in cooking. The "pan" part of the word simply refers to a shallow cooking vessel. Thus, a saucepan is specifically designed for making sauces or cooking liquids.
