An archaic or folkloric term for a male participant in wedding ceremonies; possibly a godparent-like figure or wedding official in bride-related customs.
Compound of bride plus god, possibly meaning 'one appointed to the bride' or 'protector.' Very rare and possibly dialectal, reflecting folk etymologies.
Bridegod is so obscure that even etymologists aren't certain of its exact meaning—it might have meant groomsman, godparent, or a ceremonial position we've completely forgotten about.
