Someone who adds spices to food, or something that makes something more interesting or exciting.
From 'spice,' which comes from Old French 'espice' and ultimately from Latin 'species' meaning 'kind' or 'appearance.' Originally, spices were valuable goods that added variety and flavor to food.
Medieval merchants who traded spices were among the wealthiest people in the world—spices from Asia were literally worth their weight in gold in Europe, which is why exploration and trade routes were built around finding and controlling spice supplies.
