Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French vaille que vaille.

Etymology: < Middle French vaille que vaille, literally ‘let it be worth what it may be worth’ (13th cent. in Old French; French vaille que vaille ) < vaille , 3rd singular present subjunctive of valoir (see vail v.¹) + que (relative pronoun) what + vaille (see above); compare Anglo-Norman vaille qe vailler purra (1329–30). Compare vail that vail might at vail v.¹ Phrases.In form avalȝe que valȝe with the first element altered after avail v. The β. forms show substitution of classical Latin quod what (see what pron.) for French que; compare post-classical Latin valeat quod valeat, in the same sense (early 14th cent. in Mondeville; after the French phrase).

Scottish. Obsolete.

Whatever happens; come what may. Cf. vail that vail might at vail v.¹ Phrases.
