- feed: [OE] Feed was formed from the noun food in prehistoric Germanic times. It comes via Old English fēdan from Germanic *fōthjan, a derivative of *fōthon, the noun from which modern English food is descended. Its use as a noun, for ‘food, fodder’, dates from the 16th century.

Intransitive sense "take food, eat" is from late 14c. Meaning "to supply to as food" is from 1818.
