Word origin

The word 'jello' is derived from 'gelatin', which comes from the French word 'gรฉlatine', and ultimately from the Latin word 'gelatus', meaning 'frozen' or 'congealed'. The term 'jello' became a brand name in the United States in the late 19th century, specifically in 1897 when it was trademarked by the Jell-O Company. The product gained massive popularity in the early 20th century due to its convenience and the introduction of prepared mixes. It was especially marketed as an easy and fun dessert for families, finding its way into American culture through various recipes and occasions, including holidays, birthdays, and potlucks. Over the years, jello has evolved and has been featured in numerous culinary creations beyond just a simple dessert.
