Diet (assembly) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Diet (assembly) In politics, a diet is a formal deliberative assembly. The term is mainly used historically for the Imperial Diet, the general assembly of the Imperial Estates of the Holy Roman Empire, and for the legislative bodies of certain countries. Modern usage mainly relates to the Japanese Parliament, called "Diet" in English, or the German Bundestag, the Federal Diet. ==Etymology== The term (also in the nutritional sense) is derived from Medieval Latin ''dieta'', meaning both "parliamentary assembly" and "daily food allowance", from earlier Latin ''diaeta'' transcribing Classical Greek ''diaita'', meaning "way of living", and hence also "diet", "regular (daily) work". Through a false etymology, reflected in the spelling change replacing ''ae'' by ''e'', the word came to be associated with Latin ''dies'', "day". The word came to be used in the sense of "an assembly" because of its use for the work of an assembly meeting on a daily basis, and hence for the assembly itself. The association with ''dies'' is reflected in the German language use of ''Tagung'' (meeting) and ''-tag'' (not only meaning "day", as in ''Montag''—i.e. Monday—but also "parliament", "council", or other law-deliberating chamber, as in ''Bundestag'' or ''Reichstag'').
