Morn means morning, but it is not the everyday word. You meet it in poems, songs, and older writing: the morn, from morn till night. It sounds soft and a little old. Though actually, in some Scottish speech the morn can mean tomorrow, not this morning — so the tidy dictionary line “morning” is true in books, and not always true in the street. In class and in ordinary talk, just say morning.
(詩/古)晨、早晨;蘇格蘭口語 the morn 還可指「明天」
組成From Old English morgen, the same old “morning” word. Scholars trace it to a root about light shimmering at dawn. It is a doublet of morrow: two later shapes of one older word.
