Simplified etymology

Morrow preserves Old English morgen, the word for the beginning of the day, whose g was pronounced nearly like a w. The same Old English word also survives in morn and underlies morning.

From Middle English morwe, from Old English morgen ('morning'); a doublet of morn, from Proto-Germanic *murganaz.
