Word origin
The word 'meow' is an onomatopoeic term that imitates the sound made by cats. It is believed that 'meow' originated from the Middle English word 'mewen,' which also referred to the sound made by cats. Over time, 'meow' became the commonly accepted term for the vocalization of cats in English. Cats use meowing as a form of communication, often to express their needs or feelings to humans or other animals.
