Etymology
The French noun *repas* comes from the Latin *repāsum*, the past participle of *repāre* “to replenish, restore”, which in medieval Latin was used for a provision of food. It entered Middle French as *repas* in the 13th century, keeping the sense of a full meal. The spelling and meaning have remained stable to the modern form *repas*.
