'ambrosia' originates from Greek, specifically the word 'ἀμβροσία' (ambrosia), where 'ἀμβροσία' meant 'immortality'.

'ἀμβροσία' transformed into the Latin word 'ambrosia', and eventually became the modern English word 'ambrosia'.

Initially, it meant 'immortality', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'a dessert or divine food'.
