Think of an oven with the door shut. The heat inside is dry, it comes from every side at once, and it works slowly, turning soft dough into bread. Everything this word does can be traced back to that closed hot box: the work you do to fill it, the batch that comes out of it, and the feeling of standing in heat that behaves the same way.
From the word’s history
The source records Middle English bakynge, equivalent to bake plus -ing, so the word is simply the act of baking turned into a name.
來源資料寫的是中古英語 bakynge，等於 bake 加上 -ing。也就是把「烤」這個動作直接變成一個名字，所以這個字天生就貼著烤箱的畫面。
