Did you know?

Did you expect comestible to be a noun meaning "food"? You're probably not alone. As it happens, comestible is used both as an adjective and a noun.

In fact, one of its earliest known uses was in a text printed in 1483 by William Caxton, the man who established England's first printing press.
