Origin of the word pickled

The word "pickled" originates from the Dutch word "pekelen," meaning "to salt." This practice of preserving food in brine, primarily with salt, was crucial for long-term storage before refrigeration. Over time, the term "pickled" evolved to encompass other methods of preserving food in acidic solutions, like vinegar. The process of soaking food in brine or vinegar was called "pickling," which then led to the adjective "pickled" describing the preserved food itself.
