Post-prandial

[abilicious]

What is the origin of the expression 'post-prandial', and what does 'prandial' mean?

[Clanad]

From Latin prandium, late breakfast... therefore after breakfast....

[jno]

I think - however the Romans may have used it - it's most likely to mean after dinner (or, less often, lunch) these days.

[Kingaroo]

I always thought it could be any meal.

I believe Prandial is any meal, latin prandium, Iam not certain though, but post-prandial, I think means after dinner, Have heard expression post-prandial speeches
