Word origin
The word 'besides' originated from Middle English, combining 'by' and 'sides' which meant 'by the side of'. Over time, it evolved to mean 'in addition to' or 'as well'. The usage of 'besides' has been documented in English literature dating back to the 14th century, where it was used in the same context as we use it today.
