Spanish Almuerzo
From the blog "A Guide to Spanish Meal Names"
Almuerzo is “food eaten in the morning or midday”. Spanish-to-English dictionaries always translate it to “lunch” and there are those who use it synonymously with comida, but I think the best English translation would be “brunch”.
Interestingly, almuerzo breaks the etymological rule of thumb that most Spanish words starting with al- came from Arabic. This word comes from the Latin word for “bite”.
Nobody would dare to miss their "Almuerzo", from bankers to farmers, workers of all sorts.
