Definition & pronunciation of <b>as well</b>

Where does the word as well come from?

The word "as well" is a combination of two Old English words: "eall" meaning "all" and "swa" meaning "so." Originally, "eall swa" meant "all so," indicating a complete agreement or similarity. Over time, the phrase evolved to mean "in addition to" or "also." The word "as" itself is a descendant of "swa" and "well" is a descendant of "eall," demonstrating the language's evolution and merging of elements.
