A pack lunch is a noun phrase that refers to a meal or assortment of food items that is prepared in advance and packed into a portable container or bag, typically to be consumed away from home, especially during daytime hours. It is commonly associated with a lunchtime meal that is taken to school, work, or any other place outside of the home where individuals may not have access to prepared meals or convenient food options. The term "pack lunch" is widely used in English-speaking countries such as the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia.
The content of a pack lunch can vary depending on individual preferences, cultural norms, and dietary restrictions. Typical elements of a pack lunch may include sandwiches, wraps, salads, fruits, vegetables, snacks, beverages, or any combination thereof. It is often prepared the night before or in the morning, allowing individuals to have control over the ingredients and portion sizes, as well as the ability to accommodate personal dietary needs.
Pack lunches are considered a practical and cost-effective solution for people who want to have control over their daily food intake, ensure nutritional balance, and avoid the temptation of fast food or unhealthy snacks. They can also be a means of reducing waste and promoting environmental sustainability by using reusable containers instead of disposable packaging.

Etymology of PACK LUNCH
The term "pack lunch" is a compound noun made up of two separate words: "pack" and "lunch".
The word "pack" originated from the Middle Dutch word "pac", meaning "bundle" or "package". It later evolved into the Middle English word "pakken" with the same meaning. Over time, "pack" gained the sense of preparing things for transportation or storage.
The word "lunch" has a different origin. It comes from the older English word "luncheon" which was derived from the Anglo-Norman word "luncheon", meaning a meal at noon. "Luncheon" dates back to the 1500s and referred specifically to a large midday meal. However, by the late 18th century, "lunch" became widely used to describe a light midday meal.
