Word origin
The term 'vegan' was coined in 1944 by Donald Watson, co-founder of the Vegan Society in the UK. It was derived from the first three and last two letters of 'vegetarian', as Watson believed it represented the beginning and end of vegetarianism. Veganism has since grown into a global movement advocating for the ethical treatment of animals and a plant-based lifestyle.
