Word origin

The word 'melts' originated from the Middle English word 'melten', which in turn came from Old English 'meltan'. The Old English word has Germanic origins, related to the Dutch 'smelten' and the German 'schmelzen'. The concept of melting has been crucial to human civilization, enabling the shaping of metal tools, the crafting of ceramics, and the creation of glass. Over time, the word 'melts' has expanded beyond the physical transformation of solids to liquids, encompassing emotional expressions and reactions.
