Etymology:
Meaning:
Provisions, especially food and fodder for animals.
Origin:
The word "provender" has an indirect origin in the Latin word "providere," which means "to foresee" or "to provide." In the context of providing for animals, "provender" originally referred to the act of preparing and storing food in advance to ensure a sufficient supply. Over time, the word's meaning expanded to include the food itself, as well as fodder, which is food for domesticated animals, especially horses and cattle.
The word "provender" entered the English language through the Anglo-Norman French term provende, which was used in England from the 12th century onward. The word has been in continuous use since that time, and it retains its original meaning as food and fodder for animals.
