Word Origin & History
escargot
"edible snail," 1892, from Fr. escargot, from O.Fr. escargole (14c.), from Prov. escaragol, ult. from V.L. *coculium, from classical L. conchylium "edible shellfish" (see cockle). The form of the word in Prov. and Fr. seems to have been influenced by words related to scarab.
