More About Morrow
What does听morrow mean?
Morrow is a literary or poetic way of saying tomorrow or the next day.
In some cases, it鈥檚 also used to mean the morning or the period after something.
Morrow is most often seen in old poetry and literature. No one uses the word morrow in everyday speech unless they鈥檙e trying to mimic a poetic style or sound like a character from an old play.
Example: There鈥檚 never enough time today鈥攊f only we could borrow from the morrow.
Where does听morrow come from?
The first records of morrow come from the 1200s. It comes from the Old English morgen, meaning 鈥渕orning.鈥 The same root gives us the words morn and morning. (The word tomorrow is a combination of morrow and to, which is used in the same way in the words today and tonight.)
Morrow appears in one of Shakespeare鈥檚 most famous lines from one of his most famous plays, Romeo and Juliet: 鈥淕ood night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow,/ That I shall say good night till it be morrow.鈥 Juliet is saying that she鈥檚 just going to keep saying 鈥済ood night鈥 all night long so they don鈥檛 have to part. (Basically like two people who keep saying 鈥淚 love you鈥 to each other on the phone because neither of them wants to be the first one to hang up.)
Shakespeare wasn鈥檛 the only one to use morrow. It was commonly used by poets and writers for centuries to refer to the next day, the morning, or a period of time following a specific event (like how we metaphorically use yesterday to refer to the past and tomorrow to refer to the future).
Because it was used to refer to the morning, it ended up being used in the greeting good morrow, meaning 鈥済ood morning,鈥 and the phrase the morrow, meaning 鈥渢omorrow morning.鈥
