Word origin

The word 'cobbler' has a long history and can be traced back to the 14th century. Originally, it referred to a mender of shoes, derived from the Old French word 'cobleur'. Over time, the term also came to be used for a simple fruit dessert, likely due to the way the topping looks like cobblestones. Today, 'cobbler' is used in both contexts, referring to both a shoe repair person and a delicious dessert.
