What are Pretzels?

As per the American Heritage Dictionary, 'Pretzel' is derived from the German word 'Brezel,' which is derived from the Latin word 'Bracellus' or 'Bracchiola.'

'Bracchiola' means "little arms" since the pretzel's twist is reminiscent of folded arms in prayer. The earliest pretzels were named 'Pretiolas' (small treats) and were distributed by monks to students who said their prayers well.

All of the first pretzels were soft and the firm, crunchy variety originated in Pennsylvania in the nineteenth century.
