Etymology

From ein- + Weck + -en, named after German businessman Johann Weck (1841–1914) who began selling the Weck jar at the beginning of the 20th century. The verb is modeled after einkochen or einmachen, common terms for canning food. The company simply replaced -koch- with -weck-, thus making their products more popular.
