(a) With two coordinated words, phrases, or clauses, emphasizing the inclusion of both (and not only one) of the elements specified: not only —— but —— .In earlier use sometimes preceded by a genitive.From the 19th century onwards, many usage guides have recommended that the clauses which follow both and and should mirror one another structurally (as they do, for example, in quots. 1611   and 1914). However, instances where they do not have been common in standard English from the Middle English period onwards (see, for example, quots. c1405,  1782).
