Etymology

The origin of the word 'lunch' can be traced back to the 16th century, derived from the word 'luncheon,' which was used to describe a light meal taken between breakfast and dinner. The term 'luncheon' itself comes from the Middle English 'nunche,' meaning a small piece or a snack. Over time, the word evolved, and 'lunch' became more commonly used in the 19th century, particularly in the UK and the US, as social norms around dining changed. The meal traditionally consisted of lighter fare compared to breakfast and dinner, reflecting peopleโ€™s increasingly active lifestyles. As industrialization progressed, the concept of a 'working lunch' emerged, emphasizing the significance of this meal in the social and professional contexts. Today, lunching is not just a necessity for nourishment but has also become a cultural occurrence with various customs and practices associated with it.
