The second coffee's real excuse, dressed up as a time of day.
means The stretch of time between early morning and noon, roughly when the first rush has passed but lunch is still a way off.
from A straightforward compound of 'mid-' (from Old English 'midd,' meaning middle) plus 'morning' itself, which traces back to 'morn,' related to 'morrow.' No hidden drama here — English simply likes slicing the day into labeled segments (midday, midnight, midweek), and midmorning filled an obvious gap sometime in that ongoing habit, with written use appearing by at least the 19th century.
