Etymology
The word 'donut' is a variant of 'doughnut', which has its origins in the early 19th century, where it was first recorded in American English. The term is believed to derive from the Dutch settlers who brought their influence on food to America. The word 'doughnut' itself is thought to be a blend of 'dough' and 'nut', referring to the nut-like shape of the early versions of this pastry and possibly alluding to the 'nut' in the sense of a small cake. The modern shape, with a hole in the middle, appeared in the 19th century, and the donut's popularity soared in America, particularly during the wars, as it became a symbol of comfort food for soldiers. Today, donuts come in various shapes, flavors, and forms, making them a widely loved treat across many cultures.
