Unnumbered source etymology
Original entry ↗conj
Selected source glosses provide context, not a complete modern definition inventoryAlthough, despite (it) being.
From the Middle English expression al be it (that), itself shortened from althagh it be that (“although it be that”), and thus composed from al (“completely, entirely”, literally “all”) + be (3rd person singular present subjunctive of been (“to be”)) + it.
