Cutlery is a noun that describes the class of objects which we use to help us eat food. Knives, forks and spoons are all cutlery. It's derived from the old French word coutel which means knife. Traditionally, only metal implements were considered to be cutlery, but with the introduction of plastic tableware those also are. But what about tableware that might be considered non-traditional to Western eaters? Are chopstick cutlery? Perhaps! We shall have to see how language changes to find out.
