Where it comes from
Borrowed from Italian gelato (“ice cream”), from Latin gelātus, derived from gelū (“frost, chill”), ultimately from the Proto-Indo-European *gel- (“cold”).
noun gelati · gelatos
- An Italian variant of ice cream made from milk and sugar, combined with other flavourings. The ingredients are supercooled while stirring to break up ice crystals as they form. Now the area has been remade in their image. Every other storefront seems to be a coffee shop, a gelato shop, or a med spa.
