Etymology

The word 'veg' is a derived form of 'vegetable,' which has its origins in the Latin word 'vegetabilis,' meaning 'growing' or 'flourishing.' The usage of 'vegetable' in English can be traced back to the early 15th century. Over time, as language evolved and became more informal, the shortened version 'veg' emerged in the late 20th century as a casual way to refer to vegetables. This abbreviation reflects a growing trend in English of shortening longer words for convenience, particularly in casual conversation and marketing contexts. The popularity of vegetarian and vegan diets has also contributed to the widespread use of the term 'veg' in contemporary discussions about nutrition and health.
