The term "sweetmeat" originates from the Middle English word "sweete," referring to something sweet, and "meat," which historically meant food or a dish rather than specifically referring to animal flesh. It was used to describe confections or sweets made from fruits, nuts, or sugar. Over time, the word evolved to refer specifically to sugary treats, highlighting their sweetness as a defining characteristic.
