Good morning! Will this day be spectacular? That may be a bit out of your control. You can, however, guarantee that it starts out jentacular.

If you aren’t familiar with the word, it comes from the Latin word jentare, which means “to breakfast.” When used in English, it is an adjective that means “relating to breakfast.”

You know how your tummy rumbles first thing in the morning? It is because it is craving jentacular nourishment. That restaurant that serves breakfast at all times of the day has a jentacular menu.

It technically refers to the meal that is eaten immediately after waking up. For that reason, although a deer may eat a meal early in the morning, it is not the meal that it eats immediately upon waking up. In other words, since the deer is crepuscular, its first meal is not jentacular.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It makes sense, therefore, that a good first step to having a spectacular day is to give it a jentacular start.
