Nguồn gốc từ
Recorded since 1580 in the sense “piece, hunk”. The word luncheon with the same meaning is presumably an extension on the pattern of puncheon (cask) and truncheon (cudgel). But earliest found forms of luncheon include lunshin and lunching, which are equivalent to -ing, with the suffix -ing possibly later modified to imitate a French origin.
