Etymology of HADDEST MEAL

The phrase "haddest meal" is a combination of two separate words: "haddest" and "meal". Let's break down the etymology of each:

1. "Haddest":

- "Haddest" is the second-person singular past tense form of the verb "to have" in Middle English. It comes from the Old English word "haefde", which itself derives from the Proto-Germanic word "*habaidē".

- The Proto-Germanic word "*habaidē" ultimately traces back to the Proto-Indo-European root "*kap-", meaning "to grasp" or "to seize".

- Over time, "haefde" evolved into "had" in Modern English, which is still used as the past tense form of "to have".
