Meanings

food

Etymology

An ablaut variant of the root *mēs-, mōs, usually derived from Proto-Indo-European *meh₂d- (‘to drip, ooze; grease, fat’). Contrary to Pokorny and followers, Kroonen separates the Germanic food words from this root, instead linking Ancient Greek μεστός (mestós) (mestós, ‘full’) for a root *med- (‘to satiate’).
