Word origin

The word 'frothed' is the past tense of 'froth,' which derives from the Old English 'froð,' meaning 'to foam' or 'to bubble.' This term can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic root '*frothwō,' which is related to similar words in other Germanic languages. The usage of 'froth' evolved over the centuries and is commonly associated with beverages, particularly in the context of coffee and dairy. The art of frothing milk and creating foam has been an integral part of coffee culture, especially with the rise of espresso-based drinks in the 20th century. Over time, the technique of frothing has garnered attention from baristas and coffee enthusiasts, leading to the development of specialized tools and methods to achieve the perfect froth.
