From Middle English tomorwe, tomorwen, from Old English tō morgne (“tomorrow”, adverb), from tō (“at, on”) + morgne (dative of morgen (“morning”)), from Proto-Germanic murganaz (“morning”), perhaps from Proto-Indo-European mergʰ- (“to blink, to twinkle”), equivalent to to- + morrow. Compare French demain, Dutch morgen, German morgen, Swedish imorgon or Danish i morgen.
Frequently functions as an adverb without a preposition; when used as a noun, it is often the object of a preposition like 'until' or 'for'.
I will see you in tomorrowI will see you tomorrowWhen used to indicate time, tomorrow acts as an adverb and does not require the preposition 'in'.
