意思
To work to provide for one's basic needs and sustenance.
文化背景
Bread is considered 'Barakat' (blessing). Wasting it is seen as a lack of gratitude toward God. This makes the idiom 'earning bread' feel more like a spiritual duty than just a financial one. In the fast-paced life of Tehran, 'nun dar āvordan' is often used with a sigh, acknowledging the high cost of living and the 'hustle' required to survive. In the traditional bazaar, your 'Nan' is tied to your reputation. An honest merchant earns 'Nan-e Halal' (pure bread). The phrase is equally common in Afghanistan, where bread (often Naan-e-Uzbeki or Naan-e-Tanoori) is the absolute staple of every meal.
Use the 'Nun' version
If you want to sound like a local in Tehran, always say 'Nun' instead of 'Nan.'
Don't use for hobbies
Never use this for something you do for fun. It implies the necessity of survival.

The 'Halal' connection
Adding 'Halal' before 'Nan' is a great way to express that someone is an honest, hardworking person.
Compound Verb Rule
Remember that 'dar' is part of the verb. Don't separate it from 'āvardan' in most tenses.
