Definition
"Every day" is an adverbial phrase used to describe an action or event that happens routinely or on each day without exception. For example, in the sentence "He goes for a walk every day," it indicates the frequency of the activity as daily.
Etymology
The phrase "every day" combines "every," meaning all or each one, from Old English 'ǣfre' meaning always or ever, and "day," from Old English 'dæg' referring to the period of light between sunrise and sunset. Together, they emphasize the occurrence of something on all individual days. Did you know? While "every day" means each day, its close look-alike "everyday" as one word is an adjective meaning common or normal.
