The word "marrying" is derived from the Old English word "mǣrra" or "gemǣre", meaning "boundary" or "limit". In ancient times, a marriage often involved the joining of two families or households, which were seen as separate entities with their own boundaries, and the act of marriage marked the establishment of a shared boundary or the merging of these two households. Over time, "mǣrra" or "gemǣre" evolved to "moweren" in Middle English, which eventually transformed into "marry" in modern English.
