Etymology

From Middle English morwe, morwen, from Old English morgen, from Proto-West Germanic *morgan, *morgin, from Proto-Germanic *murganaz, *murginaz; compare Dutch morgen and German Morgen.

Doublet of morgen and morn. Both morn and morrow continue earlier Middle English morwen (the former through early contraction, the latter through regular reduction of -en).
