Etymology
The word 'rancid' originates from the Latin term 'rancidus', which means 'having a rank smell'. This term is derived from 'rancere', meaning 'to stink, to be rancid'. The use of the word has evolved over time to denote not only the bad smell associated with decomposing fats but also to describe a broader range of unpleasant odors or tastes. The concept of rancidity has been significant in food preservation practices, especially before advanced techniques like refrigeration were widely available. As food scientists studied lipid oxidation, the term became more closely aligned with the quality and safety of edible oils and fats, leading to its contemporary use in culinary and food safety discussions.
