Word origin
The word 'jelly' originated from the Old French word 'gelรฉe', meaning 'frost' or 'jelly'. It was first used in the 14th century to refer to a gelatinous substance. Over time, it evolved to also mean a sweet dessert made from fruit juice and sugar. The term 'jelly' has been widely used in English-speaking countries to refer to both gelatinous substances and sweet spreads.
