Definition
The time of day when lunch is typically eaten, usually around midday.
Etymology
Compound of lunch (possibly from Spanish lonja meaning slice, or from lump/hunk) and time. The concept of a designated lunch period became standardized with industrial work schedules.
Kelly Says
The formalization of lunchtime reflects the industrial revolution's impact on human rhythms - before factory schedules, people ate when hungry rather than by clock time, making lunchtime a surprisingly modern concept.
