Stuffing and dressing are interchangeable terms. Stuffing is the older word, dating back from the middle of the 16th-century, when it replaced the term forcemeat, which came from the French verb farcir (to stuff). Dressing became popular in Victorian times, when the notion of stuffing didn’t sound mannerly. Today, stuffing is used more in the Eastern and Southern states, while dressing is the accepted term in the West.
