Distillage

/dɪsˈtɪlɪdʒ/ noun

Definition

The process or act of distilling; the quantity of liquid produced by distillation.

Etymology

From distill + -age (noun suffix for process or result). French influenced English -age endings to describe processes and their outcomes.

Kelly Says

Medieval apothecaries carefully recorded distillage yields because expensive oils and medicines could be wasted if distillation wasn't properly controlled—quality control is centuries old!
