matinée

morning (time between sunrise and noon); matinee (showing of a movie or performance before evening); matinee (women's dress)

“Pendant toute la matinée, il n'a pas arrêté de pleuvoir.” — Throughout the morning, the rain did not stop.

Inherited from Middle French matinee f, from Old French matinee f, ultimately from Latin mātūtīnus (“of the morning”), from Mātūta f (“goddess of morning”). Equivalent to matin m (“morning”) + -ée (“contained by, duration of”).
