Origin & History of “spaghetti”
Spaghetti comes
from the
plural of Italian
spaghetto, a diminutive
form of
spago ‘string’ (a
word of uncertain
origin). The earliest
record of its use in
English is by Eliza Acton in her
Modern Cookery 1849, but it was
still sufficiently unfamiliar
then for her to mis-
spell it
sparghetti.
