The word ''spatula'', known in English since 1525, is a diminutive form of the Latin term ''spatha'', which means a Broad Sword (as in Spatharius ) or a flat piece of wood and is also the origin of the words Spade (digging tool) and Spathe .3 DESIGN Spatulas have a handle that is long enough to keep the holder's hand away from what is being lifted, or flipped. The blade of the device is wide and/or thin. The shape of the blade varies, with square and rectangular shapes being most common. The blade is usually somewhat flexible. Spatula blades are often longer on the right side than the left, as this is more effective for Right-handed people. There are also Left-handed spatulas, but these are rare. Most have long slots on the blades to allow liquids to flow through, though some have holes or no perforations at all. Spatulas are usually made of Plastic or Metal , with a wooden or plastic handle to insulate them from Heat . SPATULAS IN POPULAR CULTURE
