Origin of the word herself

The word "herself" is a reflexive pronoun that refers back to a feminine person or animal. It is a form of the possessive pronoun "her," which is used to indicate ownership or relationship. The origin of "herself" dates back to Old English, around the 9th century. It is derived from the Old English words "hēr" (meaning "of her" or "belonging to her") and the reflexive suffix "-sēlf," which is also seen in words like "myself" and "themselves." In Old English, the word "herself" was written as "hireself" and was used to emphasize the connection between the subject and the object. Over time, the spelling evolved to "herself," and today it is a common pronoun used in English grammar.
