the.com/dinner hour

means The designated block of time set aside for eating a midday or evening meal, traditionally treated as sacred and uninterruptible.

from A straightforward compound of 'dinner' — from Old French 'disner,' rooted in Latin 'disjejunare,' meaning 'to break one's fast' — and 'hour,' from Old French 'ore,' tracing back to Greek 'hora,' a fixed time or season. The phrase hardened into a fixed institution during the era of factory and office labor, when work finally had to pause by the clock rather than by the sun, and a meal became something you were allotted rather than something you simply had.
