Etymology
The word 'tucker' originated in Australia, derived from the late 19th-century slang used by English convicts. It is believed to stem from 'tuck in', which refers to eating heartily or indulging in food. The term became popular among Australian bushmen and eventually made its way into common vernacular, often associated with hearty, simple food. Over time, 'tucker' has become an affectionate term for food in general, reflecting Australia's rich culinary history and the cultural significance of sharing meals. Though primarily used in Australia and New Zealand, the concept has spread to some variations in other English-speaking countries, where it might be recognized but is less commonly used.
