Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: ever adv., each adj.Etymology:  <  Old English ǣfre ever adv. + ǣlc, ylc each adj. (compare α.    and δ.  forms   at that entry).Apparently originally a phrase, with the first element used to reinforce the second (compare ever adv. 6   and the discussion at each adj. 1a(a)), but already treated as a compound within the Old English period (compare quot. lOE at sense  A. 1a(b)). Old English ǣfre   does not appear to have combined with gehwilc   or ǣghwilc   (compare β.    and γ.  forms at each adj. and pron.) in the same way, although compare the following apparently isolated example of ǣfre ǣghwilc   in collocation:OE    Rules of Confraternity 		(Paris)	 in  R. Brotanek Texte u. Untersuchungen zur altenglischen Lit. u. Kirchengeschichte 		(1913)	 27  				Begyte heora æghwylc þæt man æfre æghwylcere wucan for ealle geferan ane sundermæssan synderlice gesinge. Variant forms. The γ.    and δ.  forms   developed from the α.    and β.  forms   respectively, with loss of the final affricate. Some of the later Middle English, early modern English, and occasional regional variants with final -e   listed with the γ.  forms   (e.g. evere) may instead reflect a weakened pronunciation of the final syllable in the type illustrated at the δ.  forms   (e.g. every). The ε.  forms   are chiefly northern and Scots in later use (compare ilk adj.2), but are also attested more widely in early Middle English (e.g. in East Anglia and the south-west). The η.  forms   probably show loss of the unstressed final vowel of the γ.    and δ.  forms. These forms occur frequently in compounds (e.g. everybody pron., everywhere adv.). In the collocation every one   (see sense  A. 2), forms of the type everychone were often redivided as every chone (etc.) from the 15th to the 17th cent. A. adj. (attributive ) (in later use, determiner ). Used as a universal quantifier with a singular noun.  1.  Used with distributive meaning, as an equivalent to all  (with a plural noun) with collective meaning.Originally an emphatic form (with ever prefixed) of each, which was otherwise synonymous (see each adj. 1a). In Middle English and early modern English the two words were often used in much the same way: compare vche mon ouȝte..loftsong syngen to God (c1390 at each adj. 1a(a)) with eueriche man feleth þe water hoot or colde (a1387 at sense  A. 1a(a)). Their functions were gradually differentiated: from later Middle English each came to be used with reference to individual members of a numerically definite group, in contrast to the indefinite universality expressed by every: e.g. each theory is open to objection relating to a known group of theories, in contrast to every theory is open to objection referring to all theories that may exist.  a.  Followed immediately by a noun, or by a noun preceded by an adjective.Occasionally with verb in plural. the world > relative properties > kind or sort > generality > 			[adjective]		 > not specified > of every kind > each or everyOE     		(Tiber.
