Desayuno - Breakfast

Hay palabras cuya formación y significado es bastante curioso.

For example: The word breakfast comes from break and fast.

Break means romper and fast means ayunar.

So the word means:  "romper el ayuno" (después de la noche)

Have you ever thought that in Spanish it is exactly the same?
                         
                                       Des - ayunar
