Middle English diner [morning meal]
中古英語 diner [早餐]

源自 古法語 disner, diner [用餐，早餐] *參見 dine

<注釋>Eating foods such as pizza and ice cream for breakfastmay be justified by the fact that in Middle Englishdinner meant .breakfast,. as did the Old French worddisner, or diner, which was the source of our word. The Old French word came from the Vulgar Latin word.disiôn3re, meaning .to break one`s fast;that is, to eat one`s first meal,. a notion also contained in our wordbreakfast. The Vulgar Latin word was derived from an earlier word,.disiôiôn3re, the Latin elements of which aredis-, denoting reversal, and iôiônium, .fast.. Middle Englishdiner not only meant .breakfast. but, echoing usage of the Old French worddiner, more commonly meant .the first big meal of the day, usually eaten between 9a.m. and noon.. Customs change, however,and over the yearswe have let the chief meal become the last meal of the day,by which timewe have broken our fast more than once.
早餐吃些如比薩餅及冰淇淋的食物，既可以被中古英語dinner 表示早餐的事實所證實， 也可被該詞的詞源——古法語詞disner 或 diner 證實。 該法語單詞出自于通俗拉丁語單詞disiunare ， 其意思是.打破禁食后吃的第一餐飯.，同時也含有breakfast 的概念。 通俗拉丁字出自于更早的字disieiunare ， 其拉丁文構(gòu)成部分是dis- 表示反面和 ieiunium .禁食.。 中古英語diner 不僅指.早飯.， 還模仿了古法語diner 的用法， 一般指.一天中的第一次大餐，常常在上午 9點到中午之間吃.。 然而習慣改變了，許多年以來，我們常常把一天中的最后一頓飯當作主餐，從那時起，我們已不止一次地打破了禁食
