Etymology
The word 'groom' originated from the Old English 'guma', which meant man or servant. Over time, it evolved to specifically refer to a man getting married. The verb form of 'groom' comes from the Middle French 'gromer', meaning to take care of horses. The dual meanings of the word reflect its historical usage in both wedding and animal care contexts.
