AI 生成 · 仅供参考
将“luncheon”分解为“lunch”和“-eon”后缀。想象“lunch”是简短的午餐,而“-eon”后缀则可以联想到持续时间较长的活动。因此,将这两个部分结合起来,可以想象成是一场正式而持续较久的午餐聚会,这样有助于记忆“luncheon”这个单词的含义。

luncheon 午餐,午宴

来自lunch的原拼写形式,后用于指正式的午餐。

英语词源

luncheon (n.)
"light repast between mealtimes," 1650s (lunching; spelling luncheon by 1706); earlier "thick piece, hunk," 1570s (luncheon), of uncertain origin. Perhaps northern English dialectal lunch "hunk of bread or cheese" (1580s; probably from Spanish lonja "a slice," literally "loin"), blended with or influenced by nuncheon (Middle English nonechenche, mid-14c.) "light mid-day meal," from none "noon" (see noon) + schench "drink," from Old English scenc, from scencan "pour out."

Despite the form lunching in the 1650s source OED discounts that it possibly could be from lunch (v.), which is much later. It suggests perhaps an analogy with truncheon, etc. Especially in reference to an early afternoon meal eaten by those who have a noontime dinner.
