Từ nguyên (Tiếng Anh)

Được thừa hưởng từ Tiếng Anh Trung cổ: alredy

Có liên quan đến Tiếng Frisia: alreeds

Có liên quan đến Tiếng Hà Lan: alreeds

Có liên quan đến Tiếng Afrikaans: alreeds

Có liên quan đến Middle Low German: alreide

Có liên quan đến Tiếng Đan Mạch: allerede

Có liên quan đến Tiếng Thụy Điển: allaredan

Có liên quan đến Tiếng Na Uy (Nynorsk): allereie

In summary

From Middle English alredy (“fully; already”), equivalent to al- (“all, completely”) + ready. Cognate with West Frisian alreeds (“already”), Dutch alreeds (“already”), Afrikaans alreeds (“already”), Middle Low German alreide, alreids ("already"; whence modern German Low German alreeds (“already”)), Danish allerede (“already”), Swedish allaredan (“already”), Norwegian Nynorsk allereie (“already”). More at all, ready.
The use as an intensifier in American English is a semantic loan from German schon and Yiddish שוין (shoyn).
In Singapore English, the use of already as a marker of action completion and change of state is analogous to Hokkien 了 (liáu), Teochew 了 (liao²) and Mandarin 了 (le). Compare Malay (su)dah and Cantonese 咗 (zo²), 喇 (laa³).
