The word "fattening" is derived from the verb "fat", which originates from the Old English word "fǣtan" or "fǣttian". "Fǣtan" meant "to cram full", or "to feed greedily". Over time, this verb underwent various phonetic changes and eventually merged with Old High German "feizzen", Middle Dutch "vetten", and Old Norse "feta", in which these similar words also meant "to fatten".
