Etymology
The word 'trivet' originates from the Middle English word 'trivet' or 'trifet', which itself is derived from the Old French term 'trivet' meaning 'a three-footed stand'. This etymology reflects the traditional three-legged design of many trivets from historical times. The use of trivets dates back to the medieval ages, as the increasing use of pot cooking necessitated a stable and heat-resistant surface. The evolution in materials and design of trivets over centuries showcases the changing preferences and styles in kitchenware, moving from utilitarian objects to sometimes artistic displays. Today, trivets vary greatly in design, from basic metal constructs to intricate wooden carvings, but their essential purpose remains unchanged.
