The larousse states that it is probably derived from the greek word aspis, which means buckler or shield.

Cool

Don't know where it originated but I know that aspic was used to preserve food, prevent it from drying out keeping in the foods moisture and freshness. Chaud-froid, means hot-cold. It's made hot but served cold. Used for buffet displays or as coating meats puoltry and game. Hope this helps.
