    It’s bad etymology unfortunately. One referred to time and the other to grinding. The closest I got is that a luncheon was original a chunk of a food item. Nuncheon was a “noon-drink” which makes sense when you consider that many workers would consume alcohol as their primary lunchtime calories during certain parts of history.
