Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: all adj., thing n.¹

Etymology: < all adj. + thing n.¹In Old English this apparently usually shows the plural of thing n.¹ modified by the neuter plural of all adj. agreeing with it in case and gender (see all adj. 2). The neuter plural of all adj. originally had apocope in the nominative and accusative, so that singular and plural are not always distinguishable (compare quot. eOE at sense A., rendering a Latin plural in its source, and see discussion at all adj., pron., n., adv., and conj.), but no unambiguous use of the singular seems to be attested. Early Middle English quots. such as quot. a1225 at sense A. probably should still be taken as showing plural inflection of the adjective, but in the course of Middle English the word thing was apparently reanalysed as a collective singular. Originally written as two words. One-word forms are attested from late Middle English onwards, but do not become standard in the manner of comparable formations (e.g. anything pron. and n., everything pron. and n., nothing pron. and n., something n.), perhaps partly because by the 17th cent. the word was already chiefly used in nonstandard contexts. (Word division in Old English and Middle English examples frequently reflects editorial choices of modern editors of texts, rather than the practice of the manuscripts.) Both one-word and two-word forms are attested in modern Scots use.

Chiefly Scottish after 17th cent.
