Etymology

The word 'blender' originated from the verb 'blend,' which comes from Old English 'blendan' meaning 'to mix.' The concept of blending food dates back to ancient times, but the modern electric blender was invented in 1922 by Stephen Poplawski. Initially used in soda fountains, blenders became popular household appliances in the mid-20th century.
