Etymology
The word 'excepting' originates from the Latin word 'excipere', which means 'to take out' or 'to exclude'. It traveled through Old French before making its way into Middle English around the 14th century. Its morphological construction comes from the prefix 'ex-' meaning 'out of' combined with 'cept', from the Latin 'capere', meaning 'to seize'. Over time, 'excepting' has maintained its original exclusionary purpose and is often utilized in formal writing or specific contexts, particularly in legal language. While related forms like 'except' are more common in everyday language, 'excepting' is still important for precise expressions of exclusion in more formal or literary contexts.
