different between nursery vs nutrient
nursery
English
Etymology
From Middle English noricerie, norserye (“children's nursery; state of being fostered or nursed; education, upbringing”) [and other forms], from Old French norricerie, nourricerie, from norrice, nourrice (modern French nourrice (“childminder, nanny; wet nurse”)) + -erie (suffix forming feminine nouns). Norrice and nourrice are derived from Late Latin n?tr?cia (“wet nurse”), from Latin n?tr?cius (“that nurses or suckles; nourishing”), from n?tri? (“to breastfeed, nurse, suckle”), possibly ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *(s)neh?- (“to flow”). The English word may be analysed as nourice, nurse +? -ery (suffix forming nouns meaning ‘place of’).
