== Etymology ==
The word ''pot-luck'' appears in the 16th century English work of Thomas Nashe, and used to mean "food provided for an unexpected or uninvited guest, the luck of the pot." The sense "communal meal, where guests bring their own food," appears to have originated in the late 19th century or early 20th century, particularly in the Western North America, either by influence from ''potlatch'' or possibly by extension of traditional sense of "luck of the pot."
To the Irish, a potluck was a meal with no particular menu. Everyone participating brought a dish for all to share. The term comes from a time when groups of Irish women would gather together and cook dinner. They only had one pot so they cooked the meal together with whatever ingredients they happened to have that day.
