Morphology

blunch + meeting

The noun 'meeting' is transparent, but 'blunch' is a nonstandard, unanalyzed coinage (not in the dictionary) likely a blend of 'brunch' and 'lunch'. Because understanding the phrase depends on recognizing that blend or prior exposure rather than straightforward composition from clearly known morphemes, the meaning is partially inferable but not fully predictable to a B1 learner.

Etymology

Blunch meeting comes from mixing brunch and lunch to name a meeting that happens between late morning and midday with food. Imagine people talking over light food after a late morning — that's why it means 'a meeting with food around lunchtime'.
