bread
/bred/·브레드·noun
a baked food made from flour
Old EnglishCEFR A1
Root
Proto-Germanic '*braudą' (cooked, leavened food)
Proto-Germanic *braudą → Old English brēad (originally 'piece, morsel') → Modern bread
In a word
Old English brēad first meant simply "a piece" or "morsel". When that piece on the table became the most common food, the word settled into a meal name. That's why "breadwinner" sits so deep in daily life. "Someone earning the bread" is, by root, "someone bringing back a piece".
Examples
I bought fresh bread this morning.
They share their bread with neighbours.
Bread is a staple food in many countries.
