Etymology
1. 1463, from break (v.) + fast (n.). Cf. Fr.
déjeuner "to breakfast," from L.
dis-jejunare "to break the fast." The verb is from 1679. The Sp.
almuerzo "breakfast" is from L.
admorsus, pp. of
admordere "to bite into," from
ad- "to" +
mordere "to bite."
2. From Middle English brekefast, brekefaste, equivalent to break + fast (literally, "to end the nightly fast"), likely a variant of Old English fæstenbryċe, (literally, "fast-breach"). Cognate with Dutch breekvasten (“breakfast”). See: Dutch '
breekvasten'.
