+

+ ==Forms==

+ '''prandeō''' (present infinitive prandēre, perfect active prandī, supine prānsum); second conjugation^(Wiktionary)

+ Diomedes gives a perfect ''prandidī'', and Late Latin has forms of the third conjugation.^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(TLL)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is formed from [[m|la|prandium|t=late breakfast, lunch]] with the suffix [[m|la|-eō]].^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary) De Vaan explains [[m|la|prandium]] from ⟨*prāmo-ed-io-⟩ “first meal”, with [[itc-pro|*prāmo-|t=first]] from [[ine-pro|*prh₃-mo-|t=first]], comparing [[lt|pìrmas|t=first]] and [[ang|forma|t=first]].^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ De Vaan dates it from Plautus,^(de Vaan 2008) in whose ''Poenulus'' someone is asked whether he had a hot lunch that day.^(OLD 2012)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It is to take one's morning or midday meal, to lunch: Ennius has someone bidding men to eat, and Catullus, having lunched, lies full on his back.^(OLD 2012) Of troops it is to eat before going into action, as in Livy, and the participle ⟨prānsus⟩ has an active sense, “having eaten”.^(OLD 2012) With an object it is to lunch on something.^(OLD 2012) Wiktionary adds to eat in general.^(Wiktionary) Church Latin glosses it to eat.^(Stelten 1995)
