Archaic term meaning to feed on grain or spelt; to consume farinaceous foods; a rare agricultural or alimentary term.
From Latin 'farreatus' (relating to spelt or grain) and 'far' (spelt), with the verb suffix '-ate,' creating a term specific to grain-based diets or food production.
This botanical-agricultural verb is so obscure that it appears in perhaps only a few historical texts, yet it represents an entire lost vocabulary around grain cultivation and consumption.
