Etymology
The word 'ladle' comes from the Old English 'ladela', which is derived from the root 'lade', meaning 'to load' or 'to carry'. The tool itself was historically used in kitchens for pouring or measuring liquids. As cooking evolved, so did the design and materials of ladles, transitioning from wood and metal to modern, easy-to-clean materials. The term consistently reflects the action of serving by carrying food from one vessel to another, emphasizing the importance of communal sharing in culinary traditions.
