History
"Vegetable" comes from the Latin vegetabilis (animated) and from vegetare (enliven), which is derived from vegetus (active), in reference to the process of a plant growing. This in turn derives from the Proto-Indo-European base *weg- or *wog-, which is also the source of the English wake, meaning "become (or stay) alert". [1]
The word was first recorded in print in English in the 14th century. The meaning of "plant grown for food" was not established until the 18th century. [1]
