Late 16th century: from Latin alimentarius, from alimentum 'nourishment' (see aliment).

  • alimony from early 17th century:

Originally, though, in the early 17th century, it simply meant ‘nourishment or means of subsistence’. It comes from Latin alere ‘nourish’, which is the root of words such as adolescent, alimentary (Late Middle English) and coalesce (mid 16th century) ‘grow up, nourish together’.
