Etymology of EACH EVERY
The word "each" and "every" originated from Old English and have slightly different etymologies.
1. Each: The word "each" can be traced back to the Old English word "ǣlc", which means "every" or "each". In Middle English, it transformed to "ech", and eventually evolved into the modern spelling "each".
2. Every: The word "every" has its roots in Old English as well. It stems from the Old English word "ǣfre", meaning "ever" or "always". In combination with the word "ælc" (meaning "each" or "every"), it formed "ǣfre ālc", which eventually became "every".
Both "each" and "every" have similar meanings, referring to individual items or members of a group.
