Etymology

The word 'cod' originates from the Middle English word 'codde,' which itself derives from the Old English term 'codd,' meaning 'bag' or 'pouch.' It is believed this term was used to describe the fish due to the distinct shape of its body, which resembles a bag. Cod has been an important source of food and economic resource in various cultures, particularly in Europe and North America, for centuries. Historically, the demand for cod led to extensive fishing industries, which significantly impacted maritime cultures and economies. Cod fisheries became vital for sustenance and trade, especially during the Middle Ages, when European nations sought to expand their fishing territories. The fishing practices surrounding cod have evolved, but it remains one of the most sought-after fish in global cuisine.
