Word origin

The word 'scald' originated from Old Norse 'skฤld', which meant 'to scald'. The term has been used since the late 14th century to describe the action of burning or injuring with hot liquid or steam. In the culinary context, scalding was a common practice to sterilize or prepare ingredients before further cooking. Over time, the word evolved to encompass both the act of burning with hot liquid and the resulting injury.
