Origin

From Middle English tomorwe, tomorwen, from Old English tō morgne (“tomorrow”, adverb), from tō (“at, on”) + morgne (dative of morgen (“morning”)), from Proto-Germanic *murganaz (“morning”), perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *mergʰ- (“to blink, to twinkle”), equivalent to to- + morrow. Compare French demain, Dutch morgen, German morgen, Swedish imorgon or Danish i morgen.
