<br/><br/> [The word “marriage” derives from Middle English mariage, which first appears in 1250–1300 CE. This, in turn, is derived from Old French, marier (to marry), and ultimately Latin, marîtâre, meaning to provide with a husband or wife and marîtâri meaning to get married. The adjective marît-us -a, -um meaning matrimonial or nuptial could also be used in the masculine form as a noun for “husband” and in the feminine form for “wife”.[3] The related word “matrimony” derives from the Old French word matremoine, which appears around 1300 CE and ultimately derives from Latin mâtrimônium, which combines the two concepts: mater meaning “mother” and the suffix -monium signifying “action, state, or condition”] – Reproduced
