Etymology
The word 'sundry' traces its origins back to the Middle English 'sundrie', which itself comes from the Old English 'syndrig', meaning 'separate' or 'distinct'. This reflects its original meaning of 'various' or 'of different kinds'. The evolution of the term occurred through various stages of the English language, influenced by dialects and changes in usage. In historical texts, 'sundry' was often used to describe items or matters that were numerous and of different types, emphasizing the variety and distinction among them. Despite its more formal tone, 'sundry' has persisted in modern usage, particularly in legal and literary contexts, where it still retains its original meaning of a collection of various items or categories.
