Deglazing is a cooking technique that involves adding liquid (such as stock or wine) to a pan to loosen the food particles attached to the bottom from cooking or searing. Cooked food particles are called fond, which is french for “base,” referring to the brown bits of food and caramelized drippings of meat and vegetables. More @Wikipedia
