Étymologie (Anglais)

Hérité de moyen anglais: alwayes

Appartenant à écossais: alwayis

Appartenant à bas-allemand: allerwegens

In summary

From Middle English alweyes, alwayes, alweys, a variant of Middle English alwey, alway (“always”), from Old English ealneġ, ealne weġ (“always, perpetually”, literally “all the way, all the while, continuously”), from ealne + weġ (accusative case), equivalent to alway + -s. Cognate with Scots always (“always”), Low German allerwegens (“very often”, literally “all ways'”). More at all, way.
