It's a direct translation.
Other terms: Camicapium, Quaresme-prenant.
But I see no evidence that special meals were associated it with it as far
back as our era.
This may be as complete a history of the day as one can find for England:

I've seen condemnations of similar activities early on in France because
they were so close to the pagan rites which no doubt inspired them; the
Church seems to have gotten more tolerant over time, but possibly after our
period.
