In some societies this military usage has extended to other disciplined services eateries such as civilian fire fighting and police forces. The root of mess is the Old French mes, portion of food, drawn from the Latin verb mittere, meaning to send and to put, the original sense being a course of a meal put on the table. This sense of mess, which appeared in English in the 13th century, was often used for cooked or liquid dishes in particular, as in the mess of pottage. By the 15th century, a group of people who ate together was also called a mess, and it is this sense that persists in the mess halls of the modern military.
