The word "barbecue" originates from the Spanish word "barbacoa," which itself is derived from the Taíno word for a wooden structure used for cooking meat over an open fire. The term was adopted into English in the 17th century, evolving to refer to the method of cooking meat that we recognize today. The practice of barbecuing has roots in various cultures, but the term reflects its early Latin and Caribbean influences.
