Definition

Etymology
The Dutch word "morgen" comes from the Old High German 'morgan,' meaning 'morning' or 'the early part of the day.' Over time, its meaning extended to refer to the entire following day, which is how it is used today to mean 'tomorrow.' Did you know that in English, the related word 'morrow' also means 'the next day' but is now mostly poetic or archaic?
