'smorgasbord' originates from Swedish, specifically the word 'smörgåsbord', where 'smörgås' meant 'sandwich' and 'bord' meant 'table'.

'smörgåsbord' transformed into the English word 'smorgasbord' and eventually became the modern English word 'smorgasbord'.

Initially, it meant 'a table of sandwiches', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'a buffet offering a variety of foods'.
