"etymology_text": "A Scottish shortening of Allhalloweven, from Allhallowmas (the obsolete earlier name of All Saints' Day) + even (an archaic/poetic cognate of eve).\nAllhallowmas can be superficially analysed as a combination of all + hallow (\"saint, holy person\") + -mas (\"mass, church festival, holiday\" as in Christmas), but it's actually a direct descendant of the Middle English and Old English terms for All Saints' Day, whose parts mean the same as in the modern expression: (Middle English Alhalwemesse) and Old English ealra hālgena mæsse (literally \"the mass of all the saints\", from eall, halga, and mæsse).",
