'Brunch' is a portmanteau from English. It is made up of the words 'Breakfast' (breakfast) and 'Lunch' (lunch) and describes exactly this mixed form.
Ein Brunch findet typischerweise zwischen 10 und 14 Uhr statt.
A brunch typically takes place between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
People often use the fixed expressions 'zum Brunch gehen' (to go for brunch) or 'sich zum Brunch treffen' (to meet for brunch). If you are hosting, you can 'jemanden zum Brunch einladen' (invite someone to brunch).

breakfast
'das Frühstück' and 'der Brunch' are both meals in the morning or late morning. 'Frühstück' is the first meal of the day and can also be very simple, for example bread and coffee. 'Brunch' is later and combines breakfast with lunch. It is often larger and works well for a day off or a get-together with other people. Learners may confuse the words because typical breakfast foods are on the table for both. The important point is: early in the morning, you usually say 'Frühstück'; in the late morning with more variety, it is more likely 'Brunch'.
