Origin and Evolution of noodle

First Known Use: 1779 year

Language of Origin: German

Story behind the word: The word 'noodle' is believed to have originated from the German word 'Nudel' which means a paste or dumpling made from flour.

Evolution of the word: Over time, the word 'noodle' has come to specifically refer to a type of pasta made from unleavened dough, typically made from wheat flour, water, and eggs. It has also been used colloquially to refer to a person's head or brain, likely due to its soft and squishy texture resembling that of cooked noodles.
