Word origin

The word 'fizz' originated in the late 17th century as an imitation of the sound made by effervescence or fermentation. It is believed to have come from the sound of bubbles in a carbonated drink or the sizzling of something cooking. Over time, 'fizz' has come to be associated with both the sound and the effervescence of carbonated drinks, as well as the gentle crackling of various substances.
