Etymology
The word 'wafer' originates from the Middle English 'wafre,' which is derived from the Old North French 'wafre', meaning a cake made of flour and water. This term is rooted in the Latin 'croma', which means 'a cake'. Traditionally, wafers were made by pouring a batter onto heated iron plates, similar to modern waffle irons. Over time, the process evolved, and the term expanded to describe any thin, crisp food item, particularly those used in desserts and snacks. The addition of the suffix '-ed' indicates a past participle, suggesting items that are in a wafer-like form or have the qualities of a wafer.
