noonish
Near twelve o'clock
Noonish means around noon, approximately midday.
The -ish suffix signals flexibility—somewhere in the vicinity of twelve o'clock rather than precisely at it: Let's meet for lunch noonish.
The word suits casual plans where exact timing matters less than general availability.
