1. ALIMENTnoun

   Nourishment; that which nourishes; nutriment; food.

   Etymology: alimentum, Lat.

   New parts are added to our substance; and as we die, we are born daily; nor can we give an account, how the aliment is so prepared for nutrition, or by what mechanism it is distributed. Joseph Glanvill, Scepsis Scientifica, Pref.

   All bodies which, by the animal faculties, can be changed into the fluids and solids of our bodies, are called aliments. But, to take it in the largest sense, by aliment, I understand every thing which a human creature takes in common diet; as, meat, drink; and seasoning, as, salt, spice, vinegar, &c. Arbuthnot.
