/ˈteɪblspuːn//ˈteɪblspuːn/

The word "tablespoon" is a relatively recent invention. While spoons have been used for centuries, the term "tablespoon" emerged in the 18th century, likely derived from the practice of using large, table-sized spoons for serving food in a communal setting. Prior to this, similar units of measurement existed, such as the "spoonful" or the "dessert spoon," but "tablespoon" emerged as a standardized term for a specific volume of liquid.
