Etymology

The word 'picnic' comes from the French verb 'pique-nique', which emerged in the 17th century. It is believed to be a combination of the word 'piquer', meaning 'to pick or peck', and 'nique', which denotes something small or of little importance. 'Pique-nique' originally referred to a meal where everyone contributed a dish, a concept that was quite popular among the French bourgeoisie. The term was adopted into English in the early 19th century, initially retaining the communal aspect of meal-sharing, but gradually evolved into the modern idea of eating outdoors, frequently in parks or picturesque settings. The 'picnic' tradition became particularly popular in Victorian England, where social gatherings in nature were fashionable, leading to an enduring cultural practice that continues today.
