Etymology

The word 'spill' originates from the Old English 'spillan', which means to destroy or to let fall. This term is also linked to the Proto-Germanic '*spillลnฤ…', meaning to fall or to fall apart. As language evolved, 'spill' took on more specific meanings in relation to liquids and substances, particularly regarding their accidental release. Over time, 'spilled' emerged as the past tense form, solidifying its common use in English today. This evolution reflects not just a linguistic transformation, but also the human experience of handling fragile or liquid items.
