Indeed, the Old English verb fōstrian meant ‘feed, nourish’, and it was not until the 13th century that secondary metaphorical senses, such as ‘rear a child’ and ‘encourage, cultivate’, began to emerge. It was a derivative of the Old English noun fōstor ‘food’, which in turn was formed from the same Germanic source, *fōth-, as produced English food.=> foodfoster (v.)Old English *fostrian "to supply with food, nourish, support," from fostor "food, nourishment, bringing up," from Proto-Germanic *fostra-, from extended form of PIE root *pa- "to protect; feed" (see food). Meaning "to bring up a child with parental care" is from c. 1200; that of "to encourage or help grow" is early 13c. of things; 1560s of feelings, ideas, etc. Old English also had the word as an adjective meaning "in the same family but not related," in fostorfæder, fostorcild, fostormodoretc. Related: Fostered; fostering." |
