From prandium (“first meal, lunch”). The ending could be either the neuter diminutive suffix -culum or the "instrumental" noun suffix -culum. Either formation is unusual: the expected diminutive form from prandium is prandiolum, and the instrumental noun suffix -culum typically attaches to a verbal rather than a nominal base.
