单词 good morrow
释义

good morrown.int.

Brit. /(ˌ)ɡʊd ˈmɒrəʊ/, U.S. /ˌɡʊd ˈmɔroʊ/, /ˌɡʊd ˈmɑroʊ/
Forms: see good adj., n., adv., and int. and morrow n. and int.
Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: good adj., morrow n.
Etymology: < good adj. + morrow n. Compare good morn int.Earlier currency is perhaps reflected by the early surname Walter Godemorwe (1327; also as Godemorwen).
Now archaic or in historical contexts.
