Word origin
The word 'milk' originated from the Old English word 'meoluc', which itself came from Proto-Germanic 'meluks'. The source of the word can be traced back to the Proto-Indo-European root 'melg-', meaning 'to wipe or rub'. The history of milk as a staple food source dates back thousands of years, with evidence of dairy farming found in ancient civilizations such as the Babylonians and Egyptians.
