Definitions

  1. take the midday meal

Word origin

Lunch is possibly a derivative of lump (as hunch is from hump. See hunch for more), or represents an alteration of nuncheon, from Middle English nonechenche (“light midday meal”) (see nuncheon) and altered by northern English dialect lunch (“hunk of bread or cheese”) (1590), which perhaps is from lump or from Spanish lonja (“a slice”, literally “loin”).

Used in a sentence

  • “We made an odd party before the arrival of the Ten, particularly when the Celebrity dropped in for lunch or dinner.”
  • “After the funeral there was a lunch for those who didn't go to the cemetery.”
  • “I like to lunch in Italian restaurants.”
