adjective
poeticliterary
Of, relating to, or occurring in the early morning; belonging to the morning hours.
Matin survives mainly in poetic and literary English, where writers use it to lend an old-fashioned or elevated tone to descriptions of morning, as in a matin song or matin light. The word comes from the same Latin root as matins, the early morning prayer service still observed in some churches. Outside of poetry and religious contexts, English speakers today almost always say morning instead.
