The term "vegetarian" is believed to have originated in the mid-19th century, derived from the Latin word "vegetus," meaning "lively" or "vigorous." It was first used in 1847 by the newly formed Vegetarian Society in the UK to describe individuals who abstained from eating meat. The name reflects the belief that a plant-based diet contributes to good health and vitality.
