'میز' (mez) comes from the Arabic word 'مَائدة' (maida), meaning 'table' or 'spread.' The adoption of this term into Urdu illustrates the influence of Arabic on the language.
This term is used in both formal and informal registers, being common in both spoken discussions and written texts about food and gatherings. It is widely recognized in urban and rural settings.
