Definition of undefined

The Latin word "panis" (bread) was borrowed from Greek and eventually made its way into Old French as "pain," which became the modern English word "bread." Over time, other languages also developed their own words for bread, often derived from the same ancient roots. So, the next time you slice into a fresh loaf, remember the rich history behind the humble word "bread"!
