Phrases

woe betide

Origin

Middle English: from be- (as an intensifier) + obsolete tide 'befall', from Old English tīdan 'happen', from tīd (see tide).

woe from Old English:
Many ancient languages, including Old English, Latin, and Greek, had woe or a similar word—a natural exclamation made by someone unhappy or in distress. The medieval word betide, meaning ‘to happen’, comes from the same source as tide, and these days is mainly found in the phrase woe betide, a light-hearted warning that a person will be in trouble if they do a particular thing.
