Etymology

The word 'spudding' comes from the Middle English term 'spudde', which meant 'a tool for digging'. Historically, it is believed that the term was derived from the Proto-Germanic word '*spudล', referring to a kind of spade or digger. The association with potatoes likely emerged in the context of agriculture, particularly with the expanding cultivation of the potato in Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries. Potatoes became a staple food, and the need for specialized tools to plant and harvest them led to the popularization of the term. As potato farming grew in importance, so too did the actions associated with it, leading to the verb form of 'spudding' being commonly used in agricultural vernacular.
