Definition of char

charnoun

char

/tʃɑː(r)//tʃɑːr/

The word "char" has its origins in Old English and Middle English. The term "char" is derived from the Latin word "carus," which means "dear" or "beloved." In Old English, the word "char" referred to a favor or a kindness. By the Middle English period, the word had taken on a more general meaning, referring to a gentle heat or warmth. Nelson's New World Dictionary defines the word "char" as "to burn or reduce to ashes, especially by fire." This sense of the word developed in the 14th century, likely influenced by the Latin word "calor," meaning "heat." Over time, the word "char" has been used in various contexts, including cooking, chemistry, and even astronomy, to refer to the process of burning or heating.
