Origin: A word inherited from Germanic.
Etymology: As pronoun, cognate with Old Frisian ūser , Old Saxon ūser (Middle Low German unser , ūser ), Old High German unsēr , unser , (rare) unsar (Middle High German unser , German (now literary) unser ), Old Icelandic vár , Gothic unsara , genitive plural form of the Germanic first person plural oblique personal pronoun (see us pron.). As adjective, cognate with Old Frisian ūse , Old Dutch unsa (Middle Dutch onse , (older, rare) onser , Dutch onze ), Old Saxon ūsa , (rare) ūse (Middle Low German unse , ūse ), Old High German unserēr , unser (Middle High German unser , German unser ), Old Icelandic várr (Icelandic (honorific) vor ), Norn (Orkney and Shetland) vor , Faroese (archaic) vár (also (representing a secondary formation after the objective case) †osara ), Norwegian vår , Old Swedish var , etc. (Swedish vår ), Old Danish vor (Danish (archaic) vor , now usually vores (compare ours pron. and adj.)), Gothic unsar < a Germanic possessive adjective with the same base as the pronoun forms above. (The usual forms of the genitive case of the 1st person plural pronoun and the corresponding possessive adjective and possessive pronoun in modern Icelandic and Faroese are supplied by originally dual forms (see unker pron., unker adj.).)In Old English used (invariably) as the genitive plural of the 1st person pronoun, and (with adjectival inflections) as the corresponding possessive pronoun, whether adjectively or absolutely. In modern English only the possessive pronoun used as an adjective, the absolute form being ours pron. Old English ūre , adjective, was declined like ordinary adjectives in -e , e.g. masculine accusative singular ūrne , masculine and neuter genitive singular ūres , masculine and neuter dative singular and common plural ūrum , etc. The inflecting of the form ūser led to syncopation before endings beginning with a vowel, and the resulting -sr- was subsequently assimilated to -ss- , e.g. masculine and neuter genitive singular ūsses (reflecting earlier *ūsres ); this -ss- was sometimes levelled to other cases, e.g. masculine accusative singular ūsserne . Inflected forms survive into early Middle English, e.g. masculine and neuter genitive singular ures , masculine and neuter dative singular and common plural urum , uren . In Old English and early Middle English the predicative and absolute use (see sense A. 2) had (as in ordinary adjectives) the same form as the attributive. This continued with some southern writers down to the 17th cent., although the differentiated form ours pron. had arisen in the north before 1300, and had become general English by 1500. With sense B. 3 compare the parallel use of post-classical Latin noster, e.g.:a1246 (c1210) Willelmi Articuli Londiniis Retractati in F. Liebermann Gesetze der Angelsachsen (1903) I. 489 Willelmus rex Anglorum dux Normannorum omnibus hominibus suis Francis et Anglis salutem. Statuimus imprimis super omnia, unum Deum per totum regnum nostrum uenerari.
†A. pron.
1. The genitive case of the first person pronoun we (we pron., n., and adj.): of us. In Old English chiefly and Middle English only as complement of another pronoun (or a numeral), e.g. either, none, one, etc., or with the genitive plural of all (see alther adj.). Obsolete.
