The word “brunch” is a portmanteau or a blend of words used to make a new word. In this case, it is a blend of two words – breakfast and lunch. So, it is easy to understand that this is a meal that combines breakfast and lunch. Brunch is usually served between about 10:00 am and 11:30 am – a late breakfast and an early lunch.
The word originated in England in the late 19 th century and made its way to North America in the 1930s.
