Definition of dumpling

dumplingnoun

bánh bao

/ˈdʌmplɪŋ//ˈdʌmplɪŋ/

The origin of the word "dumpling" is unclear, but it is believed to have come from ancient Germany and Central Europe. The term "demping" or "dampeling" was used as early as the 14th century to describe a type of pastry filled with sweet or savory fillings. The word may have been derived from the Old English words "dumb" meaning "silent" or "unimpressive" and "ling" meaning "food". From Germany, the concept of dumplings spread to other European countries, including Austria, Hungary, and Poland. In each country, dumplings took on different forms and fillings, often reflecting local ingredients and traditions. The word "dumpling" was eventually adopted into Middle English in the 15th century, and its meaning has since expanded to include a wide range of stuffed or filled bread or pastry products.
