Whether you sit down for nourishment or sustenance,
aliment or
pabulum, a meal or a repast, you are unlikely to encounter a shortage of English words for food or the partaking of food.
Refection is just such a word. It was first borrowed by Middle English (as
refeccioun) from Anglo-French
refectiun, which in turn was derived from Latin
refectio (meaning "refreshment" or "repairing").
Refectio comes from the verb
reficere ("to remake, renew, or restore"), a combination of the prefix
re- ("again") and the verb
facere ("to make or do").
Refection
is not only applied to food, however. It has been used to describe many
means of restoring or refreshing one's body, and of mental and
spiritual sustenance as well.
