Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymons: French matines; French matin.

Etymology: < Anglo-Norman and Old French, Middle French, French matines (11th cent.), a specialized sense (after post-classical Latin matutinae (plural): see matutine n.) of the plural of matin morning (10th cent.) < classical Latin mātūtīnum , use as noun (perhaps short for mātūtīnum tempus ) of neuter singular of mātūtīnus belonging to the early morning (see matutine adj.). Compare Spanish matines (1207), maitines (1343), Catalan matines (c1284), Old Occitan matinas (13th–14th cent.); and also Italian mattino (a1313; mid 13th cent. as maitino , maitina ), Spanish matutino (15th cent.). In branch II. either a re-formed singular form inferred from the α. forms, or (especially in later use) directly < French matin.The 16th-cent. form matenses shows analysis of the word as singular with the addition of an analogical plural ending.

I. In plural form (with singular or plural agreement).

1. Christian Church.

a. The service, usually consisting of or including the office of matins (sense 1b), preceding the first mass of the day. Now historical and rare.In some quots. difficult to distinguish from sense 1b.

Also: an analogous part of certain other minor devotions modelled on the canonical hours; esp. in matins (and hours) of the Blessed Virgin Mary.The office of matins was originally said at daybreak, but subsequently began earlier, and came to be continuous with lauds; later these two offices were often performed in anticipation on the previous evening. In the Roman Catholic Church the office of matins was replaced in 1971 by an office of readings which could be said at any time of day.
