Etymology

The term 'jelled' derives from the word 'gel', which comes from the Latin 'gelare', meaning 'to freeze'. The modern usage of 'jell' primarily refers to the action of causing food to take on a gel-like consistency, primarily through the use of gelatin. Gelatin itself is a substance obtained from collagen, found in animal bones and connective tissues, which was first popularized for its culinary uses in the 19th century. The transformation of liquids into a semi-solid state gained popularity in various recipes, leading to the widespread acceptance of jelled desserts. The term has evolved and is now commonly used in various culinary contexts to describe any substance that can take on this jelly-like form.
