英语词汇brunch的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

brunch. Brunch is a dictionary-accepted word for a meal. Brunch came into the language back in 1895, when it was in- troduced in Hunter’s Weekly, a British publication, to describe a combined breakfast and luncheon. It had probably been a col- legiate coinage a little earlier. Lupper, a midafternoon meal eat- en instead of lunch and supper, is a new portmanteau word “struggling to be born,” according to William Sherk in 500 Years of New Words (1983). Dunch and blupper are two possible substitutes for lupper, suggested by readers of Marian Burros’s “De Gustibus” column in the New York Times.
