The word nanobreak first hit the spotlight a couple of years ago in the context of research undertaken by Hotels.com, an online company specializing in reservations for hotels and other kinds of holiday accommodation. It’s modelled on the earlier term minibreak, which also of course provides inspiration for the new expression minimoon.
