Origen e historia
From Old English 'ǣfre ǣlc', meaning 'ever each' — literally 'each one always'. This contracted over time through 'everilk' and 'everich' to 'every'. The word uniquely combines totality ('ever') with individuality ('each'), which is why it takes a singular verb despite referring to all members.
