Etymology
The word 'curd' comes from Old English 'cyred', which is derived from Proto-Germanic *kyurdiz, meaning 'to curdle' or 'to clot.' This term initially referred to the coagulation of milk and has been used since the medieval period. In various cultures, curdling milk has been a traditional method of preserving it, leading to the development of various dairy products. Curd is prevalent in many culinary traditions, particularly in South Asian cuisine, where it serves as a staple ingredient in numerous dishes. Over time, as dairy processing became more standardized, the use of the term expanded to include a wide variety of cheese products and fermented milk items.
