Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: all adj., hallow n.¹, holy n.

Etymology: In α. and δ. forms < all adj. + a plural form of hallow n.¹ In β. forms < all adj. + a plural form of holy n. (see note). In γ. forms < all adj. + hallow n.¹ In phrases and compounds denoting All Saints' Day after post-classical Latin omnium sanctorum (in festum omnium sanctorum feast of All Saints (from 9th cent. in British and continental sources); compare festivitas omnium sanctorum, solemnitas omnium sanctorum (12th cent.)). In Old English and sometimes still in early Middle English, the first element is treated as a normal adjective and inflected for case and number. For a discussion of the survival of the inflection of all adj. in Middle English see all adj., pron., n., adv., and conj. and also (especially for genitive plural forms such as alre in Alre Halewune at α. forms) alder- prefix. With forms showing vocalization of l such as A Halow at γ. forms compare β. forms at all adj., pron., n., adv., and conj. The second element in Old English can be either the plural of the weak masculine noun hālga saint (nominative plural hālgan ; identical in form with the weakly inflected forms of hālig holy adj.: see hallow n.¹) or the masculine plural of hālig holy adj. used as noun (see holy n.); the latter is usually inflected strong (hālge ) after adjectives of quantity like all adj. The strong and the weak inflection are indistinguishable in the dative plural (hālgum ), except when levelling of the stem form occurs in the adjective (nominative plural hālige , dative plural hāligum ). The Old English phrase is frequent in compounds and expressions in which it occurs attributively in the genitive plural, especially those denoting All Saints' Day (compare sense 2 and Compounds 1), but also e.g. in the context of the dedication of churches. However, other conventionalized uses (such as oaths) are also found in which the genitive plural figures less prominently. The α. forms show the regular Old English voiced velar fricative and its reflexes after its development to w in the second element. In Middle English, the α. forms probably chiefly continue the weak genitive plural (Old English hālgena) , but partly also represent the reflex of other weak case forms (Old English hālgan ) and perhaps also Old English dative plural (strong or weak) hālgum . The α. forms now chiefly occur in All-Hallown Summer n. at Compounds 1. The β. forms show levelling of the unsyncopated form of Old English -ig -y suffix¹ from holy adj. or holy n. Middle English Alre Haleȝere at β. forms shows the reflex of the Old English strong genitive plural ending -ra both for the first and the second element. The γ. forms in early use show phonological reduction and loss of case ending in α. forms, especially in attributive use. The form Al-hal at γ. forms in Middle English Al-hal-day shows even further reduction. Later γ. forms probably partly derive from δ. forms by dropping of plural -s . In the δ. forms the plural ending -s has been substituted for the reflexes of weak case endings seen in the α. forms in Middle English. In later use δ. forms increasingly occur attributively and in compounds, now frequently as genitive plural All Hallows' . The Middle English form Hal Alwes is perhaps a scribal spoonerism. Forms such as Middle English All Halowaunce, English regional All-Hollands' at δ. forms show addition (rather than substitution) of -s and therefore a double (genitive) plural ending. The following quotation probably does not show an early instance of the δ. forms, but rather an erroneous correction to genitive singular (masculine or neuter) hāliges :OE Prayers (Arundel 155) xviii, in Anglia (1941) 65 244 Invoco atque omnes sanctos & electos dei in auxilium mihi : ic geclypige & ealle haliges [altered from halige] & gecorene godes on fultum me. With sense 2 compare Old Frisian allerhēligena , Dutch Allerheiligen (1518 as Alreheyligen ), Middle High German allerheiligen (German Allerheiligen ), all in sense ‘All Saints' Day’. The sense probably arises by ellipsis from sense 1 in several different contexts in the individual languages. Compare All Saints n. and also the following attestations of Latin omnium sanctorum in this sense in an Old English context:OE Anglo-Saxon Chron. (Parker) anno 933 Byrnstan bisceop forþferde on Wintanceastre to Omnium Sanctorum.OE Wulfstan Canons of Edgar (Corpus Cambr.) (1972) liv. 12 Sulhælmessan xv niht onufan eastron, and geoguðe teoðunge be pentecosten, and eorðwestma be omnium sanctorum.lOE Royal Charter: Æðelstan to Holy Trinity, Winchester (Sawyer 427) in A. J. Robertson Anglo-Saxon Charters (1956) 50 And ic wille ðet þa hiwan ælce gere gefermien for mæ hie selfæ ðrie dagas, to omnium sanctorum.With All Hallows' Day n. at Compounds 1 compare Old Frisian allerhēligenadei , Middle Dutch aller heilighen dach (Dutch †Allerheiligendag ), Middle High German allerheiligentac (German †Allerheiligentag ), Old Icelandic allra heilagra dagr (also Old Icelandic allra heilagra messu dagr ), Old Swedish aldra hälghona dagher (Swedish allhelgonadag ), Danish Allehelgensdag (from early modern Danish; compare Old Danish allahælghona missu dagh ). With All Hallows' Eve n. at Compounds 1 compare Old Frisian allerhēligenaēvent , Dutch aller heilighen avont (Dutch Allerheiligenavond ), Middle High German allerheiligenābent (German †Allerheiligenabend ), Old Swedish aldra hälghona aptan (Swedish †allhelgona-afton ), probably all ultimately after post-classical Latin vespera omnium sanctorum (12th cent.). Compare also Old Icelandic allra heilagra messu aptann . With All Hallows' Mass n. at Compounds 1 compare Old Frisian allerhēligenamisse , Dutch aller heilighen messe , Middle High German allerheiligenmesse , all in sense ‘All Saints' Day’ (German Allerheiligenmesse , now only in sense ‘mass celebrated on All Saints' Day’), Old Icelandic allra heilagra messa , allheilagramessa All Saints' Day (also allra heilagra manna messa ). With All Hallows' tide n. at Compounds 1 compare Old Swedish aldra hälghona tidh (Swedish †allhelgona-tid).

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: all adj., hallow n.¹, holy n. Etymology: In α. and δ. forms < all adj. + a plural form of hallow n.¹ In β. forms < all adj. + a plural form of holy n. (see note). In γ. forms < all adj. + hallow n.¹ In phrases and compounds denoting All Saints' Day after post-classical Latin omnium sanctorum (in festum omnium sanctorum feast of All Saints (from 9th cent. in British and continental sources); compare festivitas omnium sanctorum, solemnitas omnium sanctorum (12th cent.)). In Old English and sometimes still in early Middle English, the first element is treated as a normal adjective and inflected for case and number. For a discussion of the survival of the inflection of all adj. in Middle English see all adj., pron., n., adv., and conj. and also (especially for genitive plural forms such as alre in Alre Halewune at α. forms) alder- prefix. With forms showing vocalization of l such as A Halow at γ. forms compare β. forms at all adj., pron., n., adv., and conj. The second element in Old English can be either the plural of the weak masculine noun hālga saint (nominative plural hālgan ; identical in form with the weakly inflected forms of hālig holy adj.: see hallow n.¹) or the masculine plural of hālig holy adj. used as noun (see holy n.); the latter is usually inflected strong (hālge ) after adjectives of quantity like all adj. The strong and the weak inflection are indistinguishable in the dative plural (hālgum ), except when levelling of the stem form occurs in the adjective (nominative plural hālige , dative plural hāligum ). The Old English phrase is frequent in compounds and expressions in which it occurs attributively in the genitive plural, especially those denoting All Saints' Day (compare sense 2 and Compounds 1), but also e.g. in the context of the dedication of churches. However, other conventionalized uses (such as oaths) are also found in which the genitive plural figures less prominently. The α. forms show the regular Old English voiced velar fricative and its reflexes after its development to w in the second element. In Middle English, the α. forms probably chiefly continue the weak genitive plural (Old English hālgena) , but partly also represent the reflex of other weak case forms (Old English hālgan ) and perhaps also Old English dative plural (strong or weak) hālgum . The α. forms now chiefly occur in All-Hallown Summer n. at Compounds 1. The β. forms show levelling of the unsyncopated form of Old English -ig -y suffix¹ from holy adj. or holy n. Middle English Alre Haleȝere at β. forms shows the reflex of the Old English strong genitive plural ending -ra both for the first and the second element. The γ. forms in early use show phonological reduction and loss of case ending in α. forms, especially in attributive use. The form Al-hal at γ. forms in Middle English Al-hal-day shows even further reduction. Later γ. forms probably partly derive from δ. forms by dropping of plural -s . In the δ. forms the plural ending -s has been substituted for the reflexes of weak case endings seen in the α. forms in Middle English. In later use δ. forms increasingly occur attributively and in compounds, now frequently as genitive plural All Hallows' . The Middle English form Hal Alwes is perhaps a scribal spoonerism. Forms such as Middle English All Halowaunce, English regional All-Hollands' at δ. forms show addition (rather than substitution) of -s and therefore a double (genitive) plural ending. The following quotation probably does not show an early instance of the δ. forms, but rather an erroneous correction to genitive singular (masculine or neuter) hāliges :OE Prayers (Arundel 155) xviii, in Anglia (1941) 65 244 Invoco atque omnes sanctos & electos dei in auxilium mihi : ic geclypige & ealle haliges [altered from halige] & gecorene godes on fultum me. With sense 2 compare Old Frisian allerhēligena , Dutch Allerheiligen (1518 as Alreheyligen ), Middle High German allerheiligen (German Allerheiligen ), all in sense ‘All Saints' Day’. The sense probably arises by ellipsis from sense 1 in several different contexts in the individual languages. Compare All Saints n. and also the following attestations of Latin omnium sanctorum in this sense in an Old English context:OE Anglo-Saxon Chron. (Parker) anno 933 Byrnstan bisceop forþferde on Wintanceastre to Omnium Sanctorum.OE Wulfstan Canons of Edgar (Corpus Cambr.)

With All Hallows' Eve n. at Compounds 1 compare Old Frisian allerhēligenaēvent , Dutch aller heilighen avont (Dutch Allerheiligenavond ), Middle High German allerheiligenābent (German †Allerheiligenabend ), Old Swedish aldra hälghona aptan (Swedish †allhelgona-afton ), probably all ultimately after post-classical Latin vespera omnium sanctorum (12th cent.). Compare also Old Icelandic allra heilagra messu aptann . With All Hallows' Mass n. at Compounds 1 compare Old Frisian allerhēligenamisse , Dutch aller heilighen messe , Middle High German allerheiligenmesse , all in sense ‘All Saints' Day’ (German Allerheiligenmesse , now only in sense ‘mass celebrated on All Saints' Day’), Old Icelandic allra heilagra messa , allheilagramessa All Saints' Day (also allra heilagra manna messa ).
