The root or base word of "marriage" is "marit-" or "maritare" in Latin, which means to provide with a husband or wife. The word "marriage" itself comes from the Middle English word "mariage" which is derived from the Old French word "marier," meaning to marry. Ultimately, the root word "marit-" pertains to the union or joining together of individuals in a legal or social contract of partnership.
