The term "good morning" originated in Middle English around the 14th century as a polite contraction of the phrase "I wish you a good morning".
Etymology
"Good": The word "good" comes from Old English and is used in the greeting to express positive wishes or a hope for a favorable start to the day.
"Morning": The word "morning" evolved from the Middle English words morwen or morghen, which came from the Old English word morgen, meaning "dawn, forenoon, or sunrise". The root is Proto-Germanic murgana-, which meant "morning" and has cognates in many other Germanic languages, such as German (Guten Morgen) and Dutch (goedemorgen).
Earlier Phrase: An earlier expression used in the late 14th century was "good morrow" (morwe), where "morrow" also meant "morning" or the "next day". This phrase eventually faded as "good morning" became the standard greeting by the 15th century.
