hymnn.

Brit.

/hɪm/, U.S.

/hɪm/

Forms: Old English ymen, ymmon, hymen, Middle English–1500s ymne, (Middle English imne, Middle English impne), Middle English–1500s ympne, (Middle English ymyn, Middle English umne), Middle English–1500s hympne, (1500s ime, imme, himme), 1500s–1600s hymme, hymne, 1500s– hymn.

Etymology: < Latin hymnus, < Greek ὕμνος a song or ode in praise of gods or heroes, taken by the Septuagint to render various Hebrew words, meaning a song of praise to God; hence in the New Testament (Ephesians v. 19, Colossians iii. 16), and in the Latin Vulgate and Christian writers from Augustine. Late ecclesiastical Latin ymnus was adopted in Old English as ymen, plural ymenas, ymnas; but the Middle English forms representing Old French ymne, often modified after contemporary Latin ympnus, hympnus, and at length under classical influence to hymn (modern French hymne). The earliest evidence for the non-pronunciation of final -n is apparently Palsgrave's imme.

1. A song of praise to God; any composition in praise of God which is adapted to be chanted or sung; spec. a metrical composition adapted to be sung in a religious service; sometimes distinguished from psalm or anthem, as not being part of the text of the Bible.
