Etymology

The word 'tidings' originates from the Old English term 'tidan,' which meant 'to happen' or 'to occur.' Its use evolved over time and was influenced by similar Germanic roots, with corresponding terms found in other Germanic languages. By the Middle Ages, 'tidings' became closely associated with the act of bringing news about events, particularly important or significant information. The word was commonly used in religious texts, often conveying news of good fortune or salvation, thus acquiring a somewhat formal and positive connotation. Although it has fallen out of common usage in contemporary language, it still appears in certain literary, poetic, and festive contexts.
