Origin and Evolution of meal

First Known Use: 1250 year
Language of Origin: Old English
Story behind the word: The word 'meal' originated from the Old English word 'mǣl' which meant a fixed time or occasion for eating food.
Evolution of the word: Over time, the word 'meal' evolved to specifically refer to a portion or serving of food consumed at a particular time, rather than just the time or occasion for eating. It is now commonly used to describe any type of food eaten during breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
