Word origin

The word 'cater' comes from the Middle English word 'caterer,' which is derived from the Old French 'acater,' meaning to collect or to procure. The roots can be traced back to the Latin word 'captare,' which denotes the act of taking or seizing. The evolution of the term aligns with the increasing demand for food services in social gatherings during the Renaissance period. Initially, catering referred to the act of providing provisions for travelers, particularly in inns and taverns. Over the centuries, it expanded to encompass the preparation and service of meals at events, leading to the establishment of professional catering businesses in the 20th century. Today, catering is a recognized profession, integral to the hospitality industry.
