Cognate with Spanish comestible (“grocery”).\nAttested as adjective in late 15th century, from Middle French, but fell from use in the 17th century, thence reintroduced from Modern French in 19th century.\nCorresponding terms in various Romance languages, more distant cognates include Portuguese and Spanish comida.",
