Etymologi

Ordet faster stammer fra det gammelengelske ord faestra, der betyder fastende person. I den kristne tradition refererer faster oprindeligt til en person, der afholder sig fra mad i en bestemt periode af åndelige eller religiøse årsager. Ordet har siden udviklet sig til også at betyde en person, der holder sig fra at spise visse fødevarer af sundhedsmæssige årsager eller af personlig overbevisning.
