since you dont eat for many hours between dinner and the morning meal because you are sleeping you are in effect "fasting" so at the morning meal you are breaking your fast by eating, hence "break fast" i'm not sure when it actually came into use.

fast means staying without food or water so when you break your fast you start eating your first meal which would be the breakfast so whenever you eat your first meal it's your breakfast but usually we do it in the morning
that's why breakfast is the first meal of the day

After your evening meal you do not usually eat again until the morning after a good nights rest. This is the time your body is fasting and going without nourishment. Your morning meal is breaking the fast you body went through. Therefore it is called break-fast.
