The word "dish" originates from Old English disc, meaning "plate, bowl," which was borrowed from Latin discus (meaning "disk, platter"). The Latin term itself traces back to Greek diskos (a flat circular object). Over time, the meaning shifted from the physical container to the food served in it. The word's simplicity reflects its ancient, unbroken lineage in Germanic and classical languages.
