Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
The word 'loaf' derives from Old English 'hlāf', meaning bread or a shaped mass of food, which also gave rise to the word 'lord' (originally 'hlāfweard', meaning bread-keeper). 'Bread' comes from Old English 'brēad', meaning a piece or fragment of food, later generalizing to mean the baked foodstuff itself.
