good evenn.int.

Brit.

/(ˌ)ɡʊd ˈiːvn/, U.S.

/ˌɡʊd ˈivən/

Forms: late Middle English gud devon, late Middle English–1500s good euen, 1500s god deuen, 1500s good euyn, 1500s–1600s god deen, 1500s–1600s god den, 1500s–1600s godden, 1500s–1600s good den, 1500s–1600s gooden, 1600s goddeen, 1600s god deven, 1600s good eu'n, 1600s good ev'n, 1600s– good even, 1700s– good e'en, 1800s god'en (archaic); English regional 1700s–1800s good den, 1800s god deen, 1800s godeen, 1800s good een, 1800s– godden, 1800s– goden; also Scottish pre-1700 gudein, 1700s guid een, 1800s geud e'en, 1800s god den, 1800s gude e'en, 1800s gudeen, 1800s gude'en, 1800s guid e'en; Irish English (northern) 1900s– guideen.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding; perhaps originally modelled on a Dutch lexical item. Etymons: good adj., even n.¹

Etymology: < good adj. + even n.¹, in sense A. 1 perhaps originally after Middle Dutch goeden avont (a1425, in the passage translated in quot. 1481, or earlier; Dutch goeden avond ). Compare German guten Abend (Middle High German guoten ābent ). Compare good evening n., good evening int.The wide variation in the form of this word probably partly reflects its early currency in speech in the customary expressions listed at sense A. 1 (as God give you good even int., to bid (a person) good even, etc.); some forms may arise from shortening of these expressions.

Now chiefly archaic or in historical contexts.

A. n.

1. As part of a customary expression of good wishes on meeting or parting during the evening or (formerly) the afternoon (cf. sense B.). Originally in God give you good even int. at Phrases; now chiefly in to wish (also bid) (a person) (a) good even, and (as an address) a good even to you.
