Originally, "meal" was the generic word for milled grains. Already the Mycenaean Greeks, 3500 years ago, used a cognate word with the same meaning: "meleuro-". "Flour", which comes from "flower", originally meant the finest grade of meal, which was considered the best. Nowadays the usage of these words is not always consistent with their original meanings. |
