Spatula vs. Turner

By Jaxson

  • Spatula

    A spatula is “a broad, flat, flexible blade used to mix, spread and lift material” including foods, drugs, plaster and paints. It derives from the Latin word for a flat piece of wood or splint (a diminutive form of the Latin spatha, meaning broadsword), and hence can also refer to a tongue depressor. The words spade (digging tool) and spathe are similarly derived. The word spatula is known to have been used in English since 1525.
