Etymology

The noun “golden” is a later, figurative use of the adjective “golden,” which entered Middle English in the 13th century from Old English *geolþe*, formed from *gold* (Proto‑Germanic *gulþą*) plus the adjectival suffix *‑en*. The root *gold* goes back to Proto‑Indo‑European *gʰel‑ “to shine, yellow,” and the adjective literally meant “having the colour or value of gold.” Over time “golden” was extended to refer to anything resembling or symbolising that golden quality.
