"The name comes from the Latin verb "sorbere" and the modern Italian verb sorbire, meaning to eat and drink at the same time. The noun form, sorbetto, is a mixture of a solid and liquid food. The term sherbet or charbet is derived from the Turkish şerbet, "sorbet", from the Persian sharbat, which in turn comes from the Arabic شرباتsharbāt meaning "drink(s)" or "juice."
"Sherbet in the United States must include dairy ingredients such as milk or cream to reach a milk-fat content between 1% and 2%. Products with higher milk-fat content of 10% or higher are defined as ice cream, while those between 2% and 10% milkfat are termed "frozen dairy dessert"; products with lower milkfat content and not using any milk or cream ingredients, and no egg ingredients other than the egg white, are defined as water ice.[4] The use of the term "sorbet" is unregulated and is most commonly used with non-dairy, fruit juice "italian ice" products"
