英文詞源
- bridegroom
- bridegroom: see groom
- bridegroom (n.)
- Old English brydguma "suitor," from bryd "bride" (see bride) + guma "man" (source also of Old Norse gumi, Old High German gomo, cognate with Latin homo "man;" see homunculus). Ending altered 16c. by folk etymology after groom (n.) "groom, boy, lad" (q.v.).
Common Germanic compound (compare Old Saxon brudigumo, Old Norse bruegumi, Old High German brutigomo, German Br?utigam), except in Gothic, which used brutsfats, literally "bride's lord."
