Etymology
'restaurant-made' originates from the combination of 'restaurant' and 'made', where 'restaurant' refers to a place where meals are prepared and served, and 'made' indicates something that has been created or produced.
'restaurant' comes from the French word 'restaurer', meaning 'to restore or refresh', and 'made' is derived from the Old English 'macian', meaning 'to make or create'.
Initially, 'restaurant' referred to a place for refreshment, and 'made' meant 'created'. Together, they now imply something prepared in a professional dining setting.
