Etymologie (Engels)

Verwant aan Engels: noontide

Verwant aan Middelengels: noon tijd

Verwant aan Oudengels: nōntīd

In summary

From noon + time, perhaps an innovation of earlier English noontide (“noontime”), from Middle English noon tijd, from Old English nōntīd (“noontime”). Eclipsed non-native Middle English merian, merion (“noontime”) from Old French meriiene, merīane (“noontime”).
