Diet (assembly)
In politics, a diet (/ˈdaɪ.ət/ DY-ət) is a formal deliberative assembly or legislature. The term is used for some assemblies such as the German Imperial Diet (the general assembly of the Imperial Estates of the Holy Roman Empire), as well as a designation for modern-day legislative bodies of certain countries and states such as the National Diet of Japan, or the German Bundestag, the Federal Diet.
The term (also in the nutritional sense) might be derived from Medieval Latin dieta, meaning both "parliamentary assembly" and "daily food allowance", from earlier Latin diaeta, possibly from the Greek διαιτησία ("arbitration"), or Classical Greek δίαιτα (diaita), meaning "way of living", and hence also "diet" (regular food), "regular (daily) work".[citation needed]
Through a false etymology, reflected in Latin spelling change in medieval Europe that replaced the ae with e, the word diaeta came to be associated with another Latin word dies, which means "day". Day thus came to be used in postclassical Europe in the sense of "an assembly" and retroactively explained that the day referred to the day of the assembly meeting.
The association with dies is reflected in the German language's use of Tagung (meeting) and also -tag, meaning not only "day", as in Montag (Monday) but also "parliament", "council", or other legislative chamber, as in Bundestag or Reichstag for national parliaments, and Landtag for regional assemblies.
In this sense, it commonly refers to the Imperial Diet assemblies of the Holy Roman Empire:
After the Second Peace of Thorn of 1466, a German-language[citation needed] Prussian diet Landtag was held in the lands of Royal Prussia, a province of Poland in personal union with the king of Poland.
The Croatian word for a legislative assembly is sabor (from the verb sabrati se, "to assemble"); in historic contexts it is often translated with "diet" in English, as in "the Diet of Dalmatia" (Dalmatinski sabor), "the Croatian Diet" (Hrvatski sabor), "the Hungarian-Croatian Diet" (Ugarsko-hrvatski sabor), or Diet of Bosnia (Bosansko-hercegovački sabor).
The Diet of Hungary, customarily called together every three years in Székesfehérvár, Buda or Pressburg, was also called "Diéta" in the Habsburg Empire before the 1848 revolution.
