food: [OE] Food and its Germanic relatives, German futter ‘fodder’, Dutch voedsel ‘food’, and Swedish f?da ‘food’, all go back ultimately to a prehistoric Indo-European base *pā-, *pī-, which also produced Latin pābulum ‘fodder’, Russian pisca ‘food’, and Czech pice ‘fodder’. The immediate source of all the Germanic forms was *fōth-, which had two important derivatives: *fōthram, which gave English fodder [OE] and (via Old French) forage [14] and foray [14] (etymologically probably a ‘search for food’); and *fōstrom, source of English foster. => feed, fodder, forage, foray, foster

Middle English foode, fode, from Old English foda "food, nourishment; fuel," also figurative, from Proto-Germanic *fodon (cognates: Swedish f?da, Danish f?de, Gothic fodeins), from Germanic *fod- "food," from PIE *pat-, extended form of root *pa- "to tend, keep, pasture, to protect, to guard, to feed" (cognates: Greek pateisthai "to feed;" Latin pabulum "food, fodder," panis "bread," pasci "to feed," pascare "to graze, pasture, feed," pastor "shepherd," literally "feeder;" Avestan pitu- "food;" Old Church Slavonic pasti "feed cattle, pasture;" Russian pishcha "food").
