Alimentation is a noun that refers to the provision of nourishment and other necessities of life.

The Latin word alimentare (all ee men TAR ay) means ‘to feed.’ Our word of the day may refer to food or it may refer to any other kind of vital nourishment.

In difficult times, I took great alimentation from the friendships I had developed. That kind of nourishment can’t be derived from any medicine in the world.
