BRIDE

What bride means

A woman on her wedding day or who is about to be married to someone.

Where the word comes from

From Old English *bryd*, related to Old Norse *brúðr* and Old High German *brut*. These Germanic words likely derive from a Proto-Germanic root meaning "daughter-in-law" or "newly married woman," though the ultimate origin is uncertain. The word has remained relatively unchanged in meaning since Anglo-Saxon times, always denoting a woman on her wedding day or newly married.
