Word origin

The origin of the phrase 'hand over' can be traced back to the 17th century, where it was used in the context of transferring control or responsibility from one person to another. The verb 'hand' originally comes from Old English 'hand', meaning the part of the human body at the end of the arm. 'Over' is a Middle English word derived from Old English 'ofer', meaning above or across. Over time, 'hand over' has become a common phrasal verb in the English language.
