 Questions & Answers: Mess
In the fifteenth century, mess came to refer to a group of people, usually four in number, who sat together at a meal and were served from the same dishes.
At one time mess could also refer to any cooked dish, especially one which was liquid or pulpy; this is best remembered in the mess of pottage for which Esau sold his birthright in the Bible (though the phrase doesn’t appear in the Authorised Version of 1611).
The sense of a confused jumble or a dirty or untidy state, which is the first association we have for mess nowadays, evolved from this meaning and seems to have been a disparaging reference to such sloppy food.

 The Mavens' Word of the Day
Most people would probably share your belief: that the primary meaning of mess is 'a dirty or untidy' condition, and the 'meal' sense is somehow derived from this or perhaps represents a different word.
The main modern senses, which are in fact rather recent, dating mostly from the early nineteenth century, begin with things like 'a jumble; a dirty or untidy mixture or mass', and 'a state of confusion or disorder'.
The word mess is borrowed from Old French, from Late Latin missus 'a course at a meal', literally 'what is sent', that is, 'what is placed on the table', a noun use of the participle of mittere 'to send'.
