Word origin
The word 'platters' has a dual history. The first meaning, referring to a flat dish or plate, comes from the Old French word 'platel', which itself is derived from the Latin word 'plattus'. The second meaning, related to a vocal group, originated in the 1950s music scene, particularly with groups like The Platters who popularized the term. Over time, 'platters' became synonymous with harmonious musical performances by groups of singers or musicians.
