# jentacular

> English word · Adjective · IPA /d͡ʒɛnˈtækjʊlə/

## Definitions
1. Of or pertaining to breakfast; specifically, one taken early in the morning or immediately upon getting up.

## Etymology
Learned borrowing from Latin iēntāculum (“breakfast (particularly taken right after getting up)”) + English -ar (suffix meaning ‘of, near, or pertaining to’ forming adjectives). Iēntāculum is derived from ientō (a variant of ieientō (“to have breakfast”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₁yaǵ- (“to sacrifice; to worship”)) + -culum (diminutive suffix).
