Etymology:
French: matin
Latin: matutinus ("pertaining to the morning")
Proto-Indo-European: *māti- ("morning")
Meaning:
The period of time from the first appearance of light in the sky until midday.
Origin:
The word "matin" ultimately derives from the Proto-Indo-European root *māti-, which means "morning." This root is also found in other languages, such as Sanskrit (mat- "early"), Old Persian (mada- "morning"), and Greek (mētēr "mother").
The Latin term matutinus was used to describe anything related to the morning, such as the morning star or the morning sacrifice. In Old French, the word matin came to refer specifically to the period of time between sunrise and midday.
Over time, the meaning of "matin" has shifted slightly. In modern English, it usually refers to the early morning, particularly the hours between sunrise and 9 or 10 am. However, in some contexts, it can still be used to refer to the entire morning period.
