Word origin
The word 'fond' originated from the Old French word 'fondre' which meant 'to melt'. Over time, the meaning of 'fond' evolved to express a liking or affection for something or someone. The use of 'fond' in the context of food as a creamy thickening agent also developed from this original meaning of melting. Today, 'fond' is commonly used to describe a positive feeling or sentiment towards someone or something.
