When did spaghetti get its name?

The name "spaghetti" is derived from the Italian Word "spaghetto," which is a diminutive form of "spago," meaning "string" or "twine." This term began to be used in the late 19th century as pasta types were increasingly standardized and named in Italy. Spaghetti itself has roots in Southern Italy, with its popularity growing significantly in the 20th century, particularly outside of Italy.
