Word origin
The word 'almost' originated from the Old English word 'eallmวฃst', which means 'for the most part'. Over time, it evolved into the modern term we use today to indicate something that is very close to happening or being true, but not quite. The concept of 'almost' is universal and can be found in many languages and cultures, reflecting the human experience of nearly achieving or reaching something.
