Definition of dairy

dairynoun

sữa

/ˈdeəri//ˈderi/

The word "dairy" comes from the Old English word "daegre", which means "to nurse" or "to rear". In the 14th century, the term "dairy" referred to the process of nursing or rearing young animals, particularly cattle. This sense of nurturing and care is still reflected in the modern English word, which refers to a place where milk and other dairy products are obtained, produced, or processed. Over time, the meaning of the word "dairy" expanded to include the products themselves, such as milk, cheese, butter, and yogurt. Today, the term is widely used in industries, businesses, and everyday language to describe a wide range of dairy products and services. Despite its evolution, the core idea of nurturing and care remains at the heart of the word "dairy", emphasizing the importance of quality and freshness in the production and processing of dairy products.
