I guess I’m going to be the monumental douche of this thread but I love linguistics, and whenever we start getting into what words mean, I start to froth at the mouth.
Any time you’re never sure what a word mean, I suggest using the American Heritage Dictionary because it has the words etymology underneath the word.
I will say however, this one is a bitch, Marriage from marry from Wed. Now we’re off on a whole new tangent. Heres ultimately what I’ve found:
Origin:
1250–1300; ME marien < OF marier < L marītāre to wed, deriv. of marītus conjugal, akin to mās male (person)
