''Friedelehe'' is the term for a postulated form of Germanic marriage said to have existed during the Early Middle Ages. This concept was introduced into mediaeval historiography during the 1920s by Herbert Meyer. Whether such a marriage form actually existed remains controversial. == Etymology == The term ''Friedelehe'' means approximately "lover marriage". The modern German word ''Friedel'' is derived from the Old High German ''friudil'', which meant "lover", or "sweetheart";〔''Deutsches Wörterbuch'' of Jacob Grimm and Wilhelm Grimm. 16 Vols, 32 Fasicles]. Leipzig: S. Hirzel 1854-1960. -- Edition of 1971. Available online (here ).〕 this is in turn derived from ''frijōn'' "to love". The OHG ''friudil'' was parallel to the Old Norse ''fridl'', ''frilla'', modern Danish and Norwegian ''frille'' "lover". ''Friedel'' is compounded with the word ''Ehe'' "marriage", from OHG ''ēha'' or ''ēa'' "marriage", which in turn harks back to the form ''ēwa'', meaning (approximately) cosmic or divine "law". An OHG form *''friudilēha'' is itself apparently not attested, contributing to the controversy about the authenticity of the modern term. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Friedelehe」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
