Word origin
The word 'chomp' originates from the early 20th century as a variant of the term 'champer,' which itself comes from the Old English word 'cempan,' meaning 'to chew' or 'to bite.' 'Chomp' likely developed as a playful way of describing the sound and action of biting something robustly. It became popular in American English, especially in informal speech. The use of 'chomp' suggests a sense of enthusiasm or vigor in the act of eating, making it a favorite descriptor for both people and animals consuming food with delight. The past form 'chomped' has maintained this playful connotation, often appearing in literature and media to depict scenes of hearty eating.
