Relating to or inserted as something between meals; occurring as an interpolation in eating practices.
From Greek 'embolimos' (intercalated, inserted) + '-meal' (from Old English 'mēl', a portion of food). This rare term blends Greek intercalation concepts with English meal terminology.
This word is almost extinct in English, but it perfectly captures something we experience constantly: snacking between proper meals—the Greeks had a word for the 'insertedness' of these eating patterns!
