Etymology

The word 'gasket' originated in the late 19th century, derived from the Middle French word 'gachete' meaning 'a piece of metal that holds the powder and the shot in place in a gun'. The use of gaskets became widespread with the development of machinery and engines, where they played a crucial role in preventing leaks and ensuring proper functioning.
