"middag" meaning in Swedish

See middag in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈmɪda/, /ˈmɪdɑːɡ/ (note: in careful speech) Audio: LL-Q9027 (swe)-Moonhouse-middag.wav
Etymology: From Old Swedish miþdagher, midhdagher, Old Norse miðdagr, miðr dagr, from miðr (“middle”) + dagr (“day”). By surface analysis, mid- + dag (“day”). Middag originally referred to the biggest meal of the day, which was eaten at noon, hence the name, and the meal eaten in the evening was kvällsmat or kvällsvard. After the Industrial Revolution, the time of the main meal of the day shifted to the evening, after work hours, and the word lunch was borrowed from English to denote the meal eaten around noon. Kvällsmat now commonly refers to a lighter supper (like sandwiches).
