Etymology of EXCUSES ONESELF

The phrase "excuses oneself" is made up of two different words with distinct origins:

1. Excuse: The word "excuse" originated from Latin "excusare", which means "to release from blame" or "to free from fault". It later evolved in Old French as "excuser" with the same meaning. From there, it entered Middle English as "excusen" and eventually became "excuse" in Modern English. In its verb form, "excuse" means to justify or pardon one's actions, behavior, or absence.

2. Oneself: The word "oneself" is a pronoun derived from "one" and the reflexive suffix "-self". "One" comes from Old English "ān", meaning "one" or "a single person".
