Word origin

The word 'furthermore' originated from Middle English 'furthermore', from Old English 'fyrder + mare'. The word 'further' means 'more distant in space or time' and 'moreover' means 'in addition to what has been said'. The combination of the two words led to the creation of 'furthermore' in the 14th century.
