Why is a spoon called spoon?

The term "spoon" is derived from the Old French word "espon", which is believed to have originated from the Latin word "sponda", meaning "cup's brim" or "edge of a cup". This term was originally used to refer to the shallow, cup-shaped objects that were similar to modern-day saucers. Over time, the usage evolved to include the concave eating utensils used to scoop and carry food or liquid. The word "espon" underwent various changes in pronunciation and spelling before becoming the familiar term "spoon" in the English language.
