Word origin
The phrase 'all right' originated in the 16th century as a variant of the earlier 'all right' meaning 'safe, well, unharmed.' Over time, it evolved to its current usage as a general term of approval or confirmation. The word 'all' emphasizes the completeness or entirety of the situation, while 'right' signifies correctness or acceptability. Today, 'all right' is widely used in English to indicate agreement, approval, or satisfaction.
