Origin

Old English brȳd, of Germanic origin; related to Dutch bruid and German Braut.

  • In Old English bride was bryd. The bridegroom had nothing to do with the word groom. The original form was brydguma, from guma ‘man’. This second part was always a slightly poetic word, and by the end of the Middle Ages people would not have recognized it. So they substituted a word they did know. The origin of bridal shows that people have always partied at weddings. The word comes from Old English bryd-ealu ‘wedding feast’, from bryd ‘bride’ and ealu ‘ale-drinking’.
