The origin of the words lunch and luncheon relate to a small meal originally eaten at any time of the day or night, but during the 20th century gradually focused toward a small or mid-sized meal eaten at midday.

Luncheon is now considered a formal lunch.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/luncheon |title=luncheon |website=merriam-webster.com |publisher=Merriam-Webster, Incorporated |access-date=17 May 2019}}</ref>[[File:Andhra Combo Meal.JPG|thumb|Typical south Indian [[Andhra Pradesh|Andhra]] style [[combination meal|combo meal]], [[India]]]][[Tea (meal)|Tea]] – any of several different meals or mealtimes, depending on a country's customs and its history of drinking tea.

During the latter half of the 20th century there has been a cultural shift towards everyone having the main meal in the late evening. The meaning as the evening meal, now generally the largest of the day, is becoming standard in most parts of the English-speaking world. * [[Supper]] – light meal eaten in the late evening; as early as 7pm or as late as midnight. Usually eaten when the main meal of the day is taken at lunchtime or high tea. * High Tea - a light meal consisting of tea, bread, vegetables, cheese and occasionally meat. Variations on high tea could include the addition of pies, potatoes and crackers. High tea is generally eaten late in the evening from around 8pm<ref>{{Cite web |title=What is High Tea? |url=https://afternoontea.co.uk/information/what-is-high-tea/ |access-date=20 Jun 2024}}</ref> * [[Siu yeh]] – late-night or overnight meal usually after dinner, may start anywhere from 9 pm onwards to 4 am.

Sometimes called 'fourth meal', a name introduced by Taco Bell aimed towards gamers and stoners who are often afflicted by late hour cravings or 'the munchies.'
