Answer

LUNCH

This common English word refers to the meal typically eaten in the middle of the day, usually between 11 AM and 2 PM. The word evolved from the earlier term luncheon, which appeared in the late 16th century. Interestingly, the concept of a formal midday meal only became standard during the Industrial Revolution when work schedules required a regular break.

Strategy Tip
