Word origin
The word 'they' originated from Old Norse and Old English. In Old Norse, the word 'their' was 'รพeirra', which evolved into 'they'. In Old English, the word was 'รฐa'. Over time, the word 'they' became widely used in Middle English and has remained a fundamental part of the English language to this day. 'They' has evolved to be inclusive of all genders and has become a standard pronoun for referring to multiple people or as a gender-neutral pronoun.
