The word sherbet (also sherbert) comes from the Persian shaba by way of the Turkish word serbet - both refer to a type of iced fruit drink. It appeared in English in the 1600s. The related word sorbet appeared earlier, in the 1500s, by way of the Italian sorbetto and the French sorbet which meant what it does today, a form of fruit ice.
