Origin of the word during

The word "during" has its roots in Old English. It comes from the Proto-Germanic word "*durinkiz", which is also the source of the Modern German word "während" and the Dutch word "terwijl". This Proto-Germanic word is thought to be derived from the Proto-Indo-European root "*dru-", which meant "to hold" or "to support". In Old English, the word "during" was spelled "þurh" and was used to indicate a period of time or a duration. For example, "þurh þe niht" meant "through the night". Over time, the spelling changed to "during", and the meaning expanded to include the sense of simultaneous occurrence, as in "during the meal". Today, "during" is a common preposition in modern English, used to indicate a period of time or simultaneous occurrence.
