The hour when ambition and breakfast finally agree to coexist.
means The stretch of time roughly between mid-morning and noon, after early errands but before midday.
from A plain compound of "late" and "morning." "Morning" grew from Middle English "morwening," built on "morwen" (the older word for dawn or daybreak, related to "morrow"), with the ending modeled on "evening." "Late" comes from Old English "læt," meaning slow or tardy, a cousin of Latin "lassus" (weary). So the phrase is literally the slow, dragging end of daybreak.
