köken: From Middle High German briutlich, brūtlich, from Old High German brūtlīh, from Proto-West Germanic *brūdilīk, equivalent to Braut + -lich. Cognate with Dutch bruidelijk, English bridely.
köken: Probably borrowed from Middle Low German hȫge (“feast, banquet”); the vocalism may be explained by delabialization in the easternmost dialects of Middle Low German. Cognate with Ingrian häät, Karelian heät and possibly Võro hähk.
köken: Probably derived as a singular form from the plural, nunți, from an earlier hypothetical *nupți, from Latin nuptiae (“wedding”), from nupta (“bride”), from nūbere (“marry”). Compare Italian nozze, Aromanian numtã.
