Prandium, prandii, n., second declension. The Roman middle meal, taken around noon and deliberately light: bread, cold leftovers, a little wine, often eaten standing. The serious meal is cena in the late afternoon, and that is where the cooking and the guests went, so translating prandium as "dinner" gets the scale badly wrong.
The verb is prandeo, prandere, prandi, pransum. Its participle pransus is one of the small set of Latin past participles with an active meaning: pransus means "having eaten", not "having been eaten", which would be a different afternoon entirely.
