ALBEIT
Etymology
Conjunction
albeit
Although, despite (it) being.
Usage notes
• The word albeit historically also introduced an independent clause as although does (as in the Shakespearean quote above); however after the Early Modern English period, it ceased to do so, and today only introduces a noun phrase, adjectival phrase, adverbial phrase, or dependent clause.
• Rarely, albethey is used when the meaning is “despite (the multiple things) being” rather than “despite (the single thing) being”; this is nonstandard, based on a flawed interpretation of albeit.
Synonyms
• as much as, though; see also even though
Anagrams
• albite, betail, libate
