Etymology
The word 'mashing' originated from the Middle English word 'masshyn', which came from the Old French 'machier', meaning 'to bruise or crush'. The verb 'mash' has been used since the 14th century to describe the action of crushing or beating something into a soft mass. Over time, the term 'mashing' has evolved to also refer to the process of turning ingredients into a smooth mixture, particularly in cooking.
