Word origin

The word 'suds' originated in the early 17th century as a back-formation from the word 'sudsy'. It is related to the Middle Low German 'sudsen', meaning 'to foam'. Over time, 'suds' became commonly used to describe the bubbly lather formed when soap is mixed with water, as well as the foam on top of beer.
