Etymology

The word 'at' originated from the Middle English word 'at', which in turn came from Old English 'รฆt'. It has been used as a preposition in English since the 14th century, indicating location, time, or direction. The word has remained a fundamental part of the English language, serving as a crucial element in expressing relationships in space and time.
