Etymology

The word 'syrup' originated from the medieval Latin word 'siropus', which came from the Arabic word 'sharab', meaning 'a drink'. Syrup has been used for centuries as a sweetening agent and as a way to mask the taste of bitter medicines. It has evolved over time to include a variety of flavors and uses in both culinary and medicinal applications.
