Correct spelling, explanation: menu is a widely used word usually in the food context. The original meaning of the word, however, used to be completely different. Menu has its origin in the Latin form minutus, which meant very small. The word menu also functioned in French, in which it first had the meaning of small or detailed and later it referred to a detailed list. The meaning of the word menu which we know today appeared in English in the middle of the 19th century.
