Etymology
The word 'our' originated from Middle English 'oure', which came from Old English 'ลซre', ultimately deriving from the Proto-Germanic word 'unser'. It has been used in English for centuries to indicate possession or association with a group of people. The pronoun 'our' is essential in English grammar to show possession or belonging in a collective sense.
