The word "he'll" is a contraction of two words: "he" and "will".
The word "he" originates from the Old English word "hē", which has Germanic roots. It is derived from the Proto-Germanic word "hiz", meaning "this man" or "the male person".
The word "will" also comes from Old English, derived from the Proto-Germanic word "wiljanan", which means "to want" or "to wish".
When these two words are contracted, "he'll" is formed, which signifies "he will". The contraction "he'll" first appeared in Middle English (around the 12th to 15th centuries) and has been commonly used since then.
