Where it comes from
From Middle English vyaund, from Anglo-Norman and Old French viande, from Late Latin *vivanda, from Latin vīvenda, from the verb vīvō (“to live”). Compare victual, viando. The Philippines usage is an anglicization of Spanish vianda (which is ultimately from Latin via French), which is used to translate ulam in Tagalog. See also usage notes.
