vespertide \VES-per-tahyd\ noun 1. the period of vespers; evening. Quotes There must the baron rest/ till past the hour of vesper-tide,/ And then to Holy-Rood must ride… -- Sir Walter Scott, Marmion: A Tale of Flodden Field, 1808 Origin Vespertide comes from the Latin word for "evening star" or "evening," vesper. The second element, tide, refers to a season or period in the course of the year, day, etc., and is used chiefly in combination. Vespertide entered English in the early 1800s.
