ВВЕДЕНИЕ

• I have always been attracted to sweets with bright wrappers and various names. Who of the children does not like sweets and chocolate? And who did not collect the wrappers from sweets and did not play with them? Candy is always associated with childhood, with joy and positive emotions. But I've always wanted to know what the names of sweets and chocolate mean in English, and I've also had other questions.
• Why do candies have names?
• Where did the names of the candies in English come from?

• These questions did not give me rest. But, since my favorite sweets are mostly sweets with English-language names,I decided to thoroughly learn all about the names of sweets in English.
• Is the essay of my work relevant? Nowadays, many consumers complain that they do not know the translation of the name of the candy. I turned to my classmates with the question: "Do they pay attention to the name of sweets when buying?" Half of the survey participants said that they carefully study the names of sweets and try to remember them. I was very surprised when the guys wrote that they pay attention mainly only to the names, and not to the composition, and appearance. Just like me, many people were interested in the names of sweets in English in our stores.

• To achieve this goal and prove this hypothesis, it is necessary to solve the following tasks: to identify the origin of the English-language names of sweets. classify candy names by origin.

" INTERPRETATION AND ETYMOLOGY OF THE WORD "CANDY".

Candy "comes from the Indian word "khanta", meaning "part" or "part of sugar" from the Persian "kand" - "sugar", the Arabic "kandah" - "candy". Sweets have been known since ancient times. The very first samples of this delicacy were made from sweet nectars and fruit juices, generously seasoned with sugar and flour for density. Chocolate candies appeared much later, when Europeans discovered the beneficial properties of the cocoa plant growing in the New World. But until the XIX century, sweets were sold without wrappers and often represented a single clumped mass.

ЗАКЛЮЧЕНИЕ

• After working through the material about the English-language names of sweets, I learned a lot of interesting things for myself, expanded my horizons, and expanded my knowledge.
• In the process of working on the project, I learned how to work with dictionaries, learned a lot of interesting things about the etymology of some words, learned how to design research papers and search for information on the Internet, conduct surveys among my classmates. Some of them helped me find a lot of interesting material about sweets. While researching this topic, I came to the following conclusions.
