Nguồn gốc từ
ine-pro Borrowed from Middle French matutinal (modern matutinal), and from its etymon mātūtīnālis, from Latin mātūtīnus (from Mātūta (Roman goddess of the dawn or morning) (from Proto-Indo-European *meh₂- (to mature, ripen; opportune, timely; good, great)) + -īnus + -ālis. The second sense (“active in the morning; waking up early”) is possibly modelled after matinal.
