The process of supplying or distributing grain or cereal crops; the production or cultivation of grain.
From Latin frumentum (grain) with the suffix '-ation' (from Latin -atio, indicating a process or action). The word describes the action of grain production or distribution.
This word reminds us that 'frumentation' and 'fermentation' are etymologically related (both connected to fruitful processes), yet we completely forgot 'frumentation' while 'fermentation' became the chemistry term we use today—language is full of these forgotten semantic siblings.
