About

The word 早饭 is formed by directly combining two meaningful characters: 早 (zǎo), which means "early" or "morning", and 饭 (fàn), which means "cooked rice" or, more broadly, "meal". The concept is constructed by placing the time indicator first to specify "morning", and then the core object "meal" second, creating the straightforward composite idea of "morning meal", or breakfast.
