Etymology
The phrase 'just now' originated from Middle English, where 'just' meant 'exactly' or 'precisely', and 'now' referred to the present moment. Over time, the phrase evolved to mean 'a very short time ago', as it is commonly used today. It is widely used in spoken English to indicate a recent event or action.
