How Do You Spell JELLIED?

Pronunciation: [d͡ʒˈɛlɪd] (IPA)

The word "jellied" is spelled with a double L, even though it may seem like it should only have one. This is because the sound "ell" in "jellied" is pronounced as a separate syllable, rather than being blended with the preceding vowel. In IPA phonetic transcription, the word is spelled /ˈdʒɛlid/ with a separate "l" sound following the "e". So, be careful not to misspell this word as "jelied" without the second "l"!

JELLIED Meaning and Definition

  1. Jellied is an adjective that describes something that has been transformed into a gelatinous form, typically through the process of adding or incorporating gelatin or a similar substance. It refers to the state in which a liquid or semi-liquid substance has thickened and solidified into a jelly-like consistency.

    When something is jellied, it has undergone a process that changes its physical state from being a fluid or soft substance into a more substantial and firmer texture. This transformation occurs as a result of cooling, setting, or the addition of a gelling agent.

    Jellied foods are commonly associated with dishes like jellied cranberry sauce, jellied eels, or jellied desserts such as fruit jelly or aspic. These foods typically have a smooth and wobbly texture, often with a translucent appearance due to the suspended gelatin.

    In a broader sense, jellied can also describe the state of being densely packed or coalesced, akin to a jelly or gelatinous substance. This definition can apply to non-food items as well, such as jellied petroleum products or jellied explosives. In these cases, the substance has been manipulated or formulated to have a viscous or jelly-like consistency for various purposes, such as ease of application or controlled release.

  2. Brought to the consistence of jelly.

Common Misspellings for JELLIED

Etymology of JELLIED

The word "jellied" has its roots in the Middle English term "gely" or "gelle", which referred to a semi-solid substance that was thickened or set into a gel-like consistency. This Middle English term came from the Old French word "gelée", meaning "frozen, jelly, or frost". In turn, "gelée" was derived from the Latin word "gelāre", which means "to freeze or congeal". Thus, the term "jellied" evolved from these earlier forms, ultimately indicating something that has the texture or consistency of jelly.
