Demitarian
Demitarian
Demitarian (pronunciation: /dɛmɪˈtɛərɪən/) is a term used to describe a dietary choice where an individual reduces their meat consumption by half. The term is a blend of the words "demi", meaning half in French, and "vegetarian".
Etymology
The term "Demitarian" is a portmanteau of the French word "demi", meaning half, and the English word "vegetarian". It was coined to describe a diet that is halfway between a meat-based diet and a vegetarian diet.
Definition
