How Do You Spell VICTUAL?

Pronunciation: [vˈɪkt͡ʃuːə͡l] (IPA)

The word "victual" is often mispronounced and misspelled. The correct pronunciation is /ˈvɪtl̩/, and the correct spelling is with a 'c' instead of a 't' - "victual". The word comes from the Old French "viande" meaning food, and was originally spelled "vittaile". The spelling was then changed in the 17th century to better reflect the pronunciation. Today, the word is mainly used to describe food supplies for a military force, though it can also be used more broadly to describe any type of food or provisions.

VICTUAL Meaning and Definition

1. Victual is a noun and a verb that is primarily used in British English, although it has also gained some usage in American English. As a noun, it refers to food or provisions that are prepared for consumption, especially in large quantities. It can encompass a range of food items, including supplies necessary for sustenance during a journey, in times of scarcity, or for a specific event or occasion. In its verb form, victual means to provide or obtain food or provisions to sustain oneself or others. It may involve the process of gathering, purchasing, storing, or preparing food.

   The term victual originated from the Old French word "vitaille," which in turn came from the Latin word "victualia," meaning provisions or food. Throughout history, victual has been a crucial term in military contexts, as it denotes the supplies necessary to sustain an army. In a broader sense, it refers to the act of nourishing oneself and others. In today's usage, victual remains a somewhat formal or archaic term, often used in specialized contexts such as historical literature, discussions of provisioning, or in certain poetic or literary works.

2. • Provision for food; articles commonly used as food.

   • To supply with provission or articles of food; to store with provisions, as a ship.

Etymology of VICTUAL

The word "victual" is derived from the Old French term "victuaille", which in turn originates from the Latin word "victualia". "Victualia" referred to provisions or food supplies for humans and animals. The Latin word is derived from "victus", meaning "nourishment" or "livelihood". "Victual" entered the English language during the Middle English period, primarily in the context of food and provisions. Over time, its pronunciation shifted to resemble the word "vittle", which is now a less commonly used variant.
