Word origin

The word 'yeast' originates from the Old English 'gist' or 'gyst', which means fermentation or leaven. This can be traced further back to the Proto-Germanic '*jaustaz', referring to fermentation substances. Yeast has been utilized in cooking and baking for centuries, primarily for its ability to ferment sugars and produce carbon dioxide. This process causes dough to rise, creating the fluffy texture we associate with baked goods today. The superlative form 'yeastiest' most likely developed as a way to describe products or dishes that have a particularly strong yeast flavor or have risen the most due to yeast activity. Over time, the application of this term has spread beyond just bread to encompass any item that showcases the characteristics imparted by yeast.
