Etymology
The word 'yoghurt' is derived from the Turkish word 'yoฤurt', which means 'to thicken' or 'to curdle'. This term is thought to have originated from the verb 'yoฤurtmak', referring to the process of thickening milk by fermentation. The concept of fermentation dates back thousands of years, and yoghurt has been a staple in many cultures, particularly in the Middle East and Central Asia, where it was made from the milk of cows, goats, and sheep. The process of making yoghurt likely began as a way to preserve milk before refrigeration was available. Over centuries, yoghurt spread to various parts of the world, including Europe, where it became a popular health food in modern times due to its probiotic benefits. The word 'yoghurt' has several spelling variations, including 'yogurt' and 'yogourt', which are commonly used in different regions.
