Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a word inherited from Germanic. Partly formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: bride n.¹, groom n.¹

Etymology: Cognate with or formed similarly to Old Frisian breidgoma , Old Dutch brūdigomo (Middle Dutch brudegome , Dutch bruidegom ), Old Saxon brūdigomo (Middle Low German brūdegam ), Old High German brūtigomo (Middle High German briutegome , German Bräutigam ), Old Icelandic brúðgumi , Old Swedish bruþgumi (Swedish brudgumme ), Old Danish bruthgomme (Danish brudgom ) < the Germanic base of bride n.¹ + the Germanic base of gome n.¹ In β. forms with remodelling of the second element after groom n.¹ (compare groom n.¹ 2). In γ. forms apparently re-formed < (or further remodelled after) the genitive of bride n.¹ + groom n.¹, on the basis of the β. forms. Compare bride n.¹ 4.No direct parallel for the West Germanic and North Germanic formations is attested in Gothic, which instead has bruþfaþs , lit. ‘bride-lord’ (itself in an isolated attestation). Variant forms. The remodelled β. forms emerged as gome n.¹ became less common in the course of the Middle English period, making the original compound less transparent. As a result, the α. forms are rare after the Middle English period. A number of early modern forms without an r in the second element have not been admitted as evidence at this entry, as they occur in texts which also show examples of the β. forms and are therefore more likely to show typographical errors. Early modern forms of this type (e.g. bridegom at α. forms) have only been included where they occur more than once in the same source or are otherwise clearly distinguishable (compare quot. 1694 at sense 1α. ).

1. A man on his wedding day; a man who is getting married or is newly married.Later instances of α. forms could be misprints; see note in etymology.
