Word: fudge Word origin: early 17th century: probably an alteration of obsolete fadge ‘to fit’. Early usage was as a verb in the sense ‘turn out as expected’, also ‘merge together’: this probably gave rise to its use in confectionery. In the late 17th century the verb came to mean ‘fit together in a clumsy or underhand manner’, which included facts or figures being cobbled together in a superficially convincing way: this led to the exclamation ‘fudge!’ and to noun fudge (sense 3 of the noun). Phonetic: fʌdʒ Listen:
present or deal with (something) in a vague or inadequate way, especially so as to conceal the truth or mislead. Example: the authorities have fudged the issue
