Etymology

The word 'frizzle' is believed to have originated from the Middle English term 'frisel', which itself came from the Old English 'frisylen', meaning to 'fry' or 'sizzle'. The transition from the older forms to the modern 'frizzle' occurred over several centuries, particularly as cooking methods evolved. By the 16th century, the term was already in common use in culinary contexts to describe the action of frying until crisp. The word has also been influenced by the characteristic sound made when food is fried at a high temperature, approximating a sizzling noise. In the realm of haircare, 'frizzle' began to be used more prominently in the late 20th century as retro hairstyles that embraced curls and volume gained popularity. Today, it encompasses both cooking and hair styling, underscoring its versatility across different contexts.
