Repast


Repast
Pronounced:
<re-past>

My use:
It is time for some repast. A nice long weekend will be a perfect repast.

Means:
Refreshment. The act of taking food or anything that refreshes.

Literary:
By Denham
“That which is taken as food; a meal; figuratively, any refreshment. “Sleep . . . thy best repast.”

Memory trick:
