Word origin
The word 'curdle' originated in the early 17th century, derived from the Old English word 'crudan' meaning to press, drive, or urge. Over time, the meaning shifted to refer to the process of milk separating into curds and whey. The figurative use of 'curdle' to describe a negative change in relationships or atmosphere appeared in the late 19th century.
