notion
Unlike other members of the Vegetarian Society, Watson derived the term vegetarian not from the Latin vegetus but from the English vegetable. The term vegan first appeared in the Oxford Illustrated Dictionary in 1962 and was explained there as „vegetarian who eats no butter, cheese, or milk“. Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary currently refers to vegan as both the vegetarian who consumes neither animal food nor dairy products, and someone who avoids the use of animal products altogether. In the German-speaking countries the adjective vegan is also occasionally formed.
Current meaning dictionaries of the German language define the vegan as „vegetarian who completely renounces animal products“ or as „fan of veganism“.
