Word origin
The word 'kneading' originated from the Old English word 'cnedan', which means 'to knead'. It has been used for centuries to describe the process of working dough to improve its texture. The practice of kneading dough dates back to ancient civilizations, where people discovered that manipulating the dough helped in the fermentation process and produced softer bread. Over time, the term 'kneading' has also been associated with massage techniques, highlighting the therapeutic effects of pressing and squeezing muscles to promote relaxation.
