Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
The term originated in the late 19th century in American English, originally referring to a sturdy alcoholic drink containing whiskey, eggs, and other ingredients, but by the early 1900s evolved into its modern non-alcoholic form made from milk, ice cream, and flavorings. It combines the noun 'milk' (from Old English meoluc) and 'shake' (from Old English sceacan).
