Etymology

The word 'although' is derived from Old English 'ฤlรพฤ“ah', which is a combination of 'ฤ' (meaning 'always') and 'lรพฤ“ah' (meaning 'even' or 'though'). The term has its roots in the Proto-Germanic *aldiz, suggesting the idea of 'despite' or 'though'. Over time, it evolved through Middle English as 'althogh' before finally becoming the form we use today. The usage of 'although' has remained consistent in English history, serving as a critical conjunction that connects ideas while indicating contrast.
