JELLY

What jelly means

A sweet, translucent, semi-solid dessert made by boiling animal bones or gelatin with sugar and fruit juice, then cooling until it sets.

Where the word comes from

Jelly comes from Old French "gelee," meaning a frozen or congealed substance, derived from the verb "geler," to freeze or congeal. This traces back to Latin "gelare," from "gelus," meaning frost or cold. The word entered English in the 14th century and originally referred to a savory meat jelly before coming to mean the sweet, fruit-flavored dessert we know today.
