The act or process of feeding on grain or spelt; consumption of farinaceous food; an archaic term in nutritional or agricultural contexts.
From Latin 'farreatio' (the eating of spelt), derived from 'far' (grain) plus the noun suffix '-ation,' creating an abstract noun form.
Romans had a specific word for this because they literally based their society on grain distribution—'farreation' was as crucial to describing Roman life as 'salary' (from 'sal,' salt).
