Etymology

The term 'forage' originated in the early 14th century from the Middle English word 'foragen', meaning 'to get food'. This was derived from the Old French 'forager', which referred to the act of obtaining food or pasture. The word's roots can be traced back to the Latin 'foragere', which meant 'to graze' or 'to rummage', emphasizing the act of searching for food. Historically, foraging has played a significant role in human survival and culture, as it was crucial for early humans living as hunter-gatherers. Over time, foraging has evolved into a practice not only for sustenance but also for enjoyment and exploration in nature.
