Origin of the word spritzer

According to Duden origin dictionary, the word is a Schorlemorle since the 18th century witnessed first as Schurlemurle in Lower Bavaria name for a mixed drink made ​​of wine and mineral water. The origin of the word is uncertain; maybe it is a playful language education, similar to the already testified for the 16th century names for beer scormorrium in Münster and Murlepuff in Strasbourg. The in southern Germany testified since the 16th century Schurimuri ( " excited, frantic man " ) and the older Low German Schurrmurr ( " mishmash " ) might be related with it.

After Kluge, however, the word Schorlemorle is probably the dialectal southwest German stir up ( " bubble " ) basis.

Henning Peter Hagen leads to an article in the Südwestpresse on other attempts at interpretation, for example, a relationship to the Dutch term schorriemorrie ( rabble rabble ). The digital bibliotheek voor de Nederlandse Letteren returns the word with the Persian- Turkish schurmur, which means " confusion, tumult " and similar terms, in Albanian, Serbian, Slovenian and Russian evidence is - up to the Spanish churriburri. This can be found in the Royal Spanish Academy dictionary as zurriburri ( confusion, lower subject, mob ). Spritzer was probably originated as: The Oriental schurimuri penetrated in the original meaning of 'mess' to Europe before, where it became the character name (also to the family name ) and the name of the beverage confusion.
