Etymology of MILKSHAKE

The word "milkshake" originated in the early 19th century. The term comes from the combination of two words, "milk" and "shake".

The term "milk" can be traced back to Old English "meoluc", which eventually evolved into the Middle English word "milke". It further derives from Proto-Germanic "meluks", and ultimately from Proto-Indo-European "melg-" which means "to stroke" or "to milk". The word "milk" refers to the white liquid produced by female mammals to nourish their offspring.

The word "shake" originated from Middle English "schaeken", which means to move or agitate. It later evolved into "shaken" in the past participle form. The word "shake" is related to Proto-Germanic "skaikjan", which means to shake or tremble.
