Etymology
The word 'peeled' originates from the Old English term 'pēolan', which means 'to remove or take off'. This term's roots can be traced back to Proto-Germanic '*pēlōną', and it has connections to similar words in various Germanic languages reflecting the essential notion of removing a covering or outer layer. Over time, the word has evolved to encompass the action of peeling in various contexts, primarily focused on food preparation. The use of the word has expanded, and today it is widely recognized and understood in the context of removing skins or shells from fruits, vegetables, and even some non-food items.
