Hallo!
Mich würde mal die Wortherkunft des Wortes Fudge (sehr lecker, sehr viele Kalorien) interessieren, beim Googlen und Englischen Wiki Artikel konnte ich bis jetzt nur Herausfinden, auf wen die heute verwendeten Zutaten zurückgehen.
Danke!
Hi!
Das scheint nicht ganz geklärt zu sein:
@Zitat „Fudge“ as a verb meaning „to surreptitiously adjust data to produce the desired conclusion“ turns out to be a very interesting word. Most of us think of „fudge“ primarily in the candy sense, but the „cheat“ sense is actually several centuries older than the „fudge“ we eat.
„Fudge“ meaning „to fit together clumsily“ first appeared in the late 17th century, and was a staple in the language of schoolchildren, who used „to fudge“ to mean fiddling with the proof of a math problem, for instance, to make it appear to be correct when it was not. This „make it fit“ meaning of „fudge“ was almost certainly a mutation of an earlier word „fadge,“ meaning „to adjust,“ which in turn probably came from the Old English word „fage,“ meaning „deceit.“ So it seems „fudge“ has been hiding something for a very long time.
Midway through the 18th century, „fudge“ took on a new job as an interjection („Oh Fudge!“) and a noun, both meaning „nonsense“ or „a made-up story.“ The candy kind of „fudge,“ which appeared around 1896, derives its name from this sense, probably either because fudge is fairly simple (though tricky) to make (and thus not a „real“ candy), or simply because fudge is usually a light, playful treat.
