Origin:
The term "purvey" originated in the 13th century, in the context of provisioning victuals for the royal household and army. The Anglo-Norman French term purveier, derived from Late Latin providere, meant "to provide" or "to foresee."
In medieval England, purveyors were officials appointed by the king to acquire food and other supplies from the countryside for the royal household and military. They had the authority to requisition goods from local communities, which often led to resentment among the peasantry.
Over time, the term "purvey" came to be used more generally for the act of procuring or supplying goods or services. It is now commonly used in the context of businesses providing goods to customers or the provision of services by professionals.
