Etymology

The word 'snack' derives from the Middle English 'snak', which meant to bite or snap. Its origins can be traced back to the late Middle Ages, where it was used to describe a quick bite of food taken between meals. The term evolved, and by the 19th century, 'snack' had solidified its meaning in the English language, specifically as a light meal or food item. The common practice of snacking grew with the agricultural and industrial revolutions, as urbanization changed people's eating habits. As convenience became more prioritized, ready-to-eat snacks emerged in the 20th century, further popularizing the habit of snacking. Today, snacking is a widespread practice across various cultures, often marketed as a fun and indulgent activity.
