Etymology
Alimentar entered Romanian through French alimentaire, which traces back to Latin alimentarius, an adjective built on alimentum, meaning nourishment. That noun comes from the verb alere, to nourish or feed. The underlying sense of growth and feeding has stayed intact across two thousand years of change.
