Word Origin & History
margarine
1836 (margarin), a chemical term, "fatty substance obtained from animal and vegetable oil," from Fr. margarine, coined by Chevreul (1813) from (acide) margarique "margaric (acid)," lit. "pearly," from Gk. margarites (see Margaret). So called for the luster of the crystals.
Now discarded as a chemical term, but preserved in margarine "butter substitute" (1873), invented 1869 by Fr. scientist Hippolyte Mège-Mouries and made in part from edible fats and oils.
