prandium

Latin

Might be from Proto-Italic *prāmo-(e)d-yom, from Proto-Indo-European *pr̥h₂mós (“first”) + *h₁ed- (“to eat”), thus originally "first meal". See prīmus, edō and compare Ancient Greek ἄριστον (áriston).[1][2][3]
Another interpretation for the first element is *pram (“before > early”), from Proto-Indo-European *preh₂m.[4]
