Etymology 1

From Middle English mese, mes, mees, , dinner, dish, from {{inh, en, ang, mēse}}, mēose, mīse, mȳse, , table; that which is set on a table; dish; food, meal. Cognate with {{cog, sco, mes}}, mese, , a serving of food, {{cog, goh, mias}}, meas (German Mus, Gemüse), {{cog, got, 𐌼𐌴𐍃}}. Compare {{cog, ang, mēsan, , to eat, dine}}, from {{inh, en, gem-pro, mōsijaną}}, from {{inh, en, gem-pro, *mōsą}}, an ablaut variant of the root {{inh, en, gem-pro, *matiz, mat-, food}} ; the association with "table" is due to Latin mensa.
