The answer
CATER
What cater means
To provide food and drinks for an event or gathering, or more broadly to supply what is needed or desired.
Where the word comes from
From Middle English "catour," meaning a purchaser of food or provisions, from Old French "acateur," derived from Latin "accatare," meaning to buy or purchase. The prefix "ac-" (to) combined with "catare" (to buy), itself of uncertain ultimate origin. The word shifted from denoting a food buyer to mean providing food or hospitality, and eventually broadened to mean supplying anything that satisfies a need or desire.
