Origen e historia

From Old English 'ǣrlīce', from 'ǣr' (before, soon) + '-līce' (like, in the manner of). The root 'ǣr' is related to 'ere' (a poetic word for 'before') and possibly to Greek 'ēri' (early in the morning). The comparative 'earlier' and superlative 'earliest' follow regular patterns despite the word's ancient origin.
