Etymology and Cultural Evolution
The term "beef" originates from Norman French "boeuf"
following the 1066 conquest of England,
establishing a culinary distinction where live cattle were called "cows" (Anglo-Saxon)
while their meat became "beef" (French-derived).
Beyond its gastronomic meaning,
"beef" evolved into 20th-century American slang
denoting interpersonal conflict or grievances.
