Definition of the word <b>flour</b>

Origin of the word flour

The word "flour" has a rich history. It comes from the Old French word "flower," which is derived from the Latin "farina," meaning "fine powder." The Latin term is also the source of the Spanish word "harina" and the Italian "farina." The Latin "farina" is based on the verb "farire," meaning "to prepare" or "to cook," which referred to the process of milling grains into a fine powder. In Middle English (circa 11th-15th centuries), the word "flour" referred to anything that was finely milled or powdered, such as "flower of salt" or "flower of barley." Over time, the term became closely associated with wheat flour, which is still the primary meaning of the word today.
