Etimología

The word "already" originates from Old English "alraed," combining "all" and "ready," meaning completely prepared. Over time, it evolved into "already," used to express that an action has been completed before the present moment or another point in time. Did you know it was once closely tied to the sense of readiness before becoming a marker of prior occurrence?
