4. Origin and Usage

The word spams originated from the trademarked name of a canned meat product, Spam. The word Spam was first introduced by Hormel Foods Corporation in 1937, and it became a popular food item during World War II. The term spam was later used in the context of unwanted or unsolicited electronic messages due to the idea that it was a form of unwanted communication, much like the canned meat was unwanted by some people. The use of the term spam to describe unwanted electronic messages became popular in the 1990s and has been widely used since then.
