Manger: meaning, definitions and examples

The word 'manger' comes from the Old French word ' mangeoire', which means 'feeder' or 'trough', derived from the Latin word 'mānsuēre' meaning 'to eat'. The term has been used since the Middle Ages, primarily in reference to a place where animals were fed, especially horses and cattle. The biblical reference to the manger in the Nativity story has further solidified its importance in cultural and religious contexts. Over time, the term has come to symbolize not only a physical object related to animal husbandry but also a representation of humility and simplicity in life, as illustrated by its mention in the context of Christ's birth.
