Etymology

The word 'marvel' has its roots in the Middle English term 'marvellen,' which originated from the Old French 'merveiller,' meaning 'to wonder at.' This, in turn, can be traced back to the Latin word 'mirare,' meaning 'to look at' or 'to admire.' The Latin root is associated with the notion of admiration and wonder. Over time, 'marvel' evolved in the English language, taking on various forms, including the noun 'marvel' to denote something extraordinary or remarkable, alongside the verb form. The evolution reflects cultural shifts where wonder and admiration have played essential roles in literature, art, and day-to-day experiences. The term has retained its connotation of awe and astonishment through centuries of use, ensuring its place in both spoken and written language.
