Etymology

The word 'bitter' has its origins in Old English 'biter,' which is derived from Proto-Germanic '*bitraz', meaning 'having a sharp taste.' The comparative form 'bittier' is simply formed by adding the suffix -ier to denote a greater degree of bitterness. Bitterness as a taste sensation is often linked to certain compounds such as alkaloids and polyphenols found in various plants. Although bitterness can be unpleasant to many, it plays a crucial role in the flavor profile of many foods and drinks, enhancing taste experiences and even serving health benefits. Throughout history, cultures have embraced the bitter taste in various cuisines, leading to a complex relationship with this flavor profile.
