The picnic word comes from the French word “pique-nique,” which is an expression coined in 1692. The word describes a group of people who meet together for dinner and wine at a restaurant. But it became popular when the French opened the royal gardens and parks to the public. People started spending their quality time with family or friends in the parks and initiated the culture of a picnic. But the one-day picnic culture started in Europe and England in the late 18th and 19th centuries.
