Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from Old English 'ǣfre' (ever) combined with 'īlci' (each), paired with Middle English 'singul' from Latin 'singulus' (one by one, individual). The compound intensified adjective has been utilized in English since the late Middle English period to provide absolute emphasis on individual items within a totality.
