Этимология (Английский)

Родственно английский: noontide

Родственно среднеанглийский: noon tijd

Родственно староанглийский: 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”).
