History
Etymology
Either from ferment + -ate (forms nouns with perfect meaning, as if: "fermentated") or a back-formation from fermentation, on the basis of the same suffix. Compare kryptonate.
From Latin fermentātus, past participle of fermentō, see -ate (verb-forming suffix). Alternatively, back-formation from fermentation.
