What is bride? How to use in English

The word "bride" has its origins in the Old English language, dating back to around the 10th century. It comes from the Anglo-Saxon word "brōd," which means "woman" or "wife." The Anglo-Saxons used this word to refer to a woman who was married or was about to be married. In Old English, the word "brōd" was also spelled "bruid" or "bridd," indicating that it was pronounced with a "d" sound at the end. The modern spelling and pronunciation of "bride" evolved over time in Middle English and Early Modern English. The "d" sound at the end eventually dropped out, and the spelling became "brid" (or sometimes "bridde" in its plural form) during the 15th and 16th centuries. The meaning of the word "bride" remained largely unchanged throughout its history, as it continues to refer to the woman getting married today. However, the specific customs and traditions associated with weddings have evolved over time in different cultures around the world.
