The word "omelet" comes from the French omelette, which itself evolved from earlier forms like alemette or amelette. These French terms likely derived from the Latin lamella (meaning "thin plate" or "blade"), referencing the flat, layered shape of the dish. The spelling and pronunciation were anglicized over time, but the word retains its French culinary roots.
