See also morrow n.

Origin: A word inherited from Germanic.

Etymology: The Old English forms probably represent several distinct Germanic base forms, each of which is represented also in one or more of the other Germanic languages: (i) Old English morgen (inflected also morgn- , morn- ) is cognate with Old Frisian morgen , morn , Middle Dutch morgen (Dutch morgen ), Old Saxon morgan (Middle Low German morgen , morgene , morne ), Old High German morgan , morkan , morgen (Middle High German morgen , German Morgen ), Old Icelandic morgunn , also (by analogy with forms at (ii)) morginn (also, rarely, merginn , probably < *mørginn < morginn ), Old Swedish morghon , morghon , morghan (Swedish morgon ), Danish morgen ; (ii) ( < a base form with an alternative suffix causing i-mutation) Old English myrgen- (in the combination myrgenlic ) is cognate with Old Icelandic myrginn , Gothic maurgins ; (iii) ( < equivalent forms with a different vowel grade of the base) Old English margen , mergen is cognate with Old Frisian mergen , mern , Middle Dutch margen , maergen , mergen . The word in all forms retains the masculine gender; from the range of senses and uses in each language, it would appear likely that the Germanic word had all three main senses below. Perhaps ultimately < the same base as mere v.¹; perhaps showing the same extended form as Lithuanian merkti to blink, wink, or perhaps that shown by Lithuanian mirgėti to twinkle, margas parti-coloured.For alternative explanations of Old English forms in -a- and -e- (i.e. (iii) above) see A. Campbell Old Eng. Gram. (1959) §§156, 193(a), 572; however, this apparently does not account for the form myrgen- (i.e. (ii) above), which seems to demand an alternative base form causing i-mutation. The present monosyllabic form descends, partly at least, from the Old English contracted forms in oblique cases (similar contractions occurred also in the corresponding early Scandinavian forms). It may, however, also in part represent the result of a process of contraction starting from Middle English morwen , the intermediate forms being morun , moren , etc. The Middle English forms that retain the final n are for convenience placed here, though many might equally be interpreted as oblique forms of morrow n. In manuscripts, because of confusion of minim strokes, it is also sometimes uncertain whether the word should be read as morn or moru , variant of morrow n.

a. Chiefly (from lME onwards) poetic. The beginning of the day; dawn, sunrise. Frequently personified. Also figurative.

See also morrow n. Origin: A word inherited from Germanic. Etymology: The Old English forms probably represent several distinct Germanic base forms, each of which is represented also in one or more of the other Germanic languages: (i) Old English morgen (inflected also morgn- , morn- ) is cognate with Old Frisian morgen , morn , Middle Dutch morgen (Dutch morgen ), Old Saxon morgan (Middle Low German morgen , morgene , morne ), Old High German morgan , morkan , morgen (Middle High German morgen , German Morgen ), Old Icelandic morgunn , also (by analogy with forms at (ii)) morginn (also, rarely, merginn , probably < *mørginn < morginn ), Old Swedish morghon , morghon , morghan (Swedish morgon ), Danish morgen ; (ii) ( < a base form with an alternative suffix causing i-mutation) Old English myrgen- (in the combination myrgenlic ) is cognate with Old Icelandic myrginn , Gothic maurgins ; (iii) ( < equivalent forms with a different vowel grade of the base) Old English margen , mergen is cognate with Old Frisian mergen , mern , Middle Dutch margen , maergen , mergen . The word in all forms retains the masculine gender; from the range of senses and uses in each language, it would appear likely that the Germanic word had all three main senses below. Perhaps ultimately < the same base as mere v.¹; perhaps showing the same extended form as Lithuanian merkti to blink, wink, or perhaps that shown by Lithuanian mirgėti to twinkle, margas parti-coloured.For alternative explanations of Old English forms in -a- and -e- (i.e. (iii) above) see A. Campbell Old Eng. Gram. (1959) §§156, 193(a), 572; however, this apparently does not account for the form myrgen- (i.e. (ii) above), which seems to demand an alternative base form causing i-mutation. The present monosyllabic form descends, partly at least, from the Old English contracted forms in oblique cases (similar contractions occurred also in the corresponding early Scandinavian forms). It may, however, also in part represent the result of a process of contraction starting from Middle English morwen , the intermediate forms being morun , moren , etc. The Middle English forms that retain the final n are for convenience placed here, though many might equally be interpreted as oblique forms of morrow n. In manuscripts, because of confusion of minim strokes, it is also sometimes uncertain whether the word should be read as morn or moru , variant of morrow n. 1. a. Chiefly (from lME onwards) poetic. The beginning of the day; dawn, sunrise. Frequently personified. Also figurative.
