The term (also in the nutritional sense) might be derived from Medieval Latindieta, meaning both "parliamentary assembly" and "daily food allowance", from earlier Latindiaetacode: lat promoted to code: la , possibly from the Greek διαιτησίαcode: ell promoted to code: el (= arbitration),[1] or transcribing Classical Greekδίαιταdiaita, meaning "way of living", and hence also "diet", "regular (daily) work".[citation needed]
Through a false etymology, reflected in the spelling change replacing ae with e, the word "diet" came to be associated with Latin dies, "date". It came to be used in postclassical Europe in the sense of "an assembly" because of its use for the work of an assembly meeting on a daily basis or a given day of the time period, and hence for the assembly itself.[2] The association with dies is reflected in the German language's use of Tagungcode: deu promoted to code: de (meeting) and -tagcode: deu promoted to code: de (not only meaning "day", as in Montagcode: deu promoted to code: de —Monday—but also "parliament", "council", or other law-deliberating chamber, as in Bundestagcode: deu promoted to code: de or Reichstagcode: deu promoted to code: de ).[citation needed]
