Food and other things that help a living thing grow, develop, and stay healthy.
From Old French 'norissement,' derived from Latin 'nutrire' (to feed/nourish). The '-ment' suffix creates an abstract noun describing the state of being nourished.
We use 'nourishment' metaphorically for emotional and mental health too—we talk about relationships, art, and learning 'nourishing' us because the brain recognizes growth and sustenance as the same concept.
