The word "meringue" first appeared in English in the early 18th century, borrowed from French. Its exact origin is debated, but it may derive from the German Meringel or the Swiss dialect term meringue, both referring to a similar confection. The French adapted the word, and English later adopted it. The spelling and pronunciation have remained relatively stable, reflecting its status as a culinary loanword.
