The Old English word for dinner, "disner", in Old French, "disjejeunare", in Latin, means to break fast and was the first meal eaten in the day until its meaning shifted in the mid 13th century. It was not until the 15th century that “breakfast” came into use in written English to describe a morning meal, which literally means to break the fasting period of the prior night.
