breakfast

/ˈbɹɛkfəst/noun

The morning meal, and typically the first food eaten in a day.

Example sentences

“I usually have eggs and toast for breakfast.”
“We had a quick breakfast at the hotel before catching the train.”

Literally "breaking the fast" of the night, which explains the odd spelling. Used without an article: "have breakfast", not "have a breakfast".
