Word origin

The word 'everybody' is derived from the Middle English term 'every body', which was first seen in the 14th century. It combines the word 'every' meaning 'each individual' with 'body' as a collective term for all individuals. The usage of 'everybody' has evolved over time to become a common pronoun and noun in the English language, emphasizing inclusivity and universality.
