The term "spit" derives from the Old English word "sprit," which means to spit or eject from the mouth. In the context of cooking, it refers to a rod or bar used to hold meat over a fire, allowing it to be rotated and cooked evenly. This method of cooking often involves the juices of the meat "spitting" as it heats up, hence the name. Additionally, the word has evolved in various contexts, but its origins relate closely to the act of ejecting or projecting, whether it be food or saliva.
