==Etymology==
The suffix ''-ade'' originates from the [Latin](/source/Latin) ''-ata'', which is a past participle used for forming nouns. It was introduced to English in the word ''lemonade'', a loanword taken from the [French](/source/French_language) ''limonade''.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Durkin |first1=Philip |author-link=Philip Durkin |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=OiiQDwAAQBAJ |title=The Oxford Guide to Etymology |date=24 July 2009 |publisher=OUP Oxford |isbn=978-0-19-157045-2 |page=236 |language=en}}</ref>

Variants of the suffix have been used in brand names, including [Kool-Aid](/source/Kool-Aid) and [Flavor Aid](/source/Flavor_Aid) from the 1920s.
