The origin of the word "narrowed"
According to one version, the basis of this word is "narrowing." From the Church Slavonic language it is translated as "cohabitation", "marriage" or "matrimony". "Constriction", in turn, is a combination of the ancient prefix "su-" and the Slavic verb "live".

In the minds of the people, the other half was something destined by higher forces. Folk literature assures: the narrow-minded is the person with whom marriage is destined. This word is used both in relation to the bride, and in relation to the groom.
