From Middle High German morgen, from Old High German morgan, from Proto-Germanic *murganaz, from Proto-Indo-European *merkʷ- (“to blink, twinkle”). Compare Low German Morgen, Dutch morgen, West Frisian moarn, English morn, morrow, Danish morgen, Swedish morgon.

Morgen m (genitive Morgens, plural Morgen or Morgende)

1. morning (part of the day from dawn to noon)
2. (agriculture, dated) morgen (measure of land equivalent to two acres); (informal) acre (when speaking vaguely), a quarter of a hectare (specific)
3. (archaic, poetic) east (direction of the rising sun at an equinox)

   gen Morgen gehen

• The normal plural is unchanged Morgen. The dialectal plural Morgende is formed under the influence of Abende (“evenings”). It is rather common colloquially but hardly ever used in literary German.
• Morgen includes the whole time of day between sunrise and noon, though the time roughly between 9 a.m. and noon is often specified as Vormittag.
