The term "bonfire" is believed to originate from the Middle English word "banefire," which translates to "bone fire." Historically, it referred to a large fire where bones were burned, often as part of rituals or celebrations. Over time, the meaning evolved to encompass any large, controlled outdoor fire used for gatherings or festivities. The word reflects the cultural significance of fire in communal activities and rituals.
