Etymology
The term 'dinnered' originates from the Old French word 'dîner' which initially meant to 'break one's fast' referring to the first meal of the day. Over time, the Anglo-Norman influence altered its meaning toward the main meal of the day. By the 14th century, it was used in English literature to denote the evening meal, which has continued into modern usage. The transformation of the term captures cultural shifts in meal consumption, where 'dinner' is now predominantly associated with the evening feast, signifying both social gatherings and culinary traditions. The past tense 'dinnered' reflects an adaptation into the English language signaling a complete action related to this essential meal, though it remains less widespread in daily vernacular.
