Food or drink that restores energy and makes you feel better, or the feeling of being restored or revived.
From Old French 'refreshir', combining 're-' (again) and 'freschir' (to freshen), from 'freis' (fresh). The word entered English in the 1300s.
The word 'refreshment' originally meant the actual feeling of being revived, not just the drink—so a refreshment was the mental and physical restoration, making it a beautifully accurate word for what a good snack does to your mood.
