Origin

Late 18th century: from French, literally 'asp', from the colours of the jelly as compared with those of the snake.

  • This jelly gets its name from the French word for a snake which appears in English as ‘asp’—a small southern European viper, which gets its name from Greek. There has been much debate why this should be. The best suggestions is that it is from a French expression froid comme un aspic ‘as cold as an asp’, so that the association is the coldness. Other suggestions are that it is something to do with the colour or patterns in the jellies in the 18th century, or with the shape of the moulds used.
