Word origin

The concept of a lunch period dates back to the early 19th century when industrialization led to the need for workers to have a break in the middle of the day. This practice eventually made its way into schools as well, providing students with a much-needed break during the school day to eat and recharge. The lunch period serves as a time for socialization, relaxation, and nourishment, playing a crucial role in maintaining energy levels and overall well-being.
