Sherbet comes from the 17th century. It originates from Turkish serbet, from Persian serbet, from Arabic sarba meaning 'drink,' and from sariba meaning 'to drink.'
The word sherbet comes from the Persian word sharbat, which is an iced fruit drink. Also, one legend speaks of the Roman Emperor Nero who wanted to serve a cool dessert at one of his banquets, so he had his slaves carry buckets of snow down from a mountain. This snow was then doused with wine and honey.
