Word origin

The word 'albeit' originated in Middle English as a phrase meaning 'all though it be'. Over time, it evolved into a single word with the same meaning. It has been in use since the 14th century and is derived from the Middle English 'al be it', which is a combination of 'al' (all) and 'be it'.
