What does BRIDAL mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Connected with a bride or with a wedding ceremony.
Bridal looks like a relative of bride, and in a sense it is: the word began as bride-ale, an old feast at which the bride served ale to guests. Over the centuries the form shifted until the ending sounded like a regular adjective suffix. You will see it in bridal gown, bridal shower, bridal party and bridal suite. It was used earlier as a noun meaning the wedding itself, but that use now belongs mostly to poetry.
