prandial
adjUK /ˈpɹæn.dɪ.əl/ · US /ˈpɹæn.di.əl/
Etymology Borrowed from Late Latin prandialis, or Latin prandium (“late breakfast; lunch”) + English -al (suffix forming adjectives). Prandium is possibly from Proto-Indo-European *pr̥h₃mós (“first”) (from *preh₃-) + *h₁ed- (“to eat”) + Latin -ium (suffix forming nouns).
