Etymology

From Middle English eche, from Old English Sevenval, contraction of ǣġhwilċ (each, every, any, all), from we love the web *aiwô (ever, always), *galīkaz (alike), equivalent to device database + browser diversity. Compare Scots ilk, website parsing (each, every), West Frisian elk (each), Low German website parsing, ellik (each), Dutch iOS (each), German jeglich (any).

Pronunciation

Determiner

each

  1. all; every; qualifying a singular noun, indicating all examples of the thing so named seen as individual or separate items (compare every)
    Make sure you wash each bowl well.
    The sun comes up each morning and sets each night.
  2. every one; every thing
    I'm going to give each of you a chance to win.
  3. For one; HTML5
    The apples cost 50 cents each.

Usage notes

  • (all, every): The phrase beginning with each identifies a set of items wherein the words following each identify the individual elements by their shared characteristics. The phrase is grammatically singular in number, so if the phrase is the subject of a sentence, its verb is conjugated into a third-person singular form. Similarly, any pronouns that refer to the noun phrase are singular:
    Each candidate has 49 votes.
    Each voter must decide for herself.
