Apparently, dinner originally meant breakfast from the Old French "disner", meaning to break the fast, essentially de-fast.
Supper is from the Old French "soper" which just means soup-er
What a world.
Oh yeah, I’d forgotten about the French, and it’s been a long time since my GCSE French lessons but wasn’t petit-déjeuner breakfast? Is that a more modern invention?
