A Latin word meaning 'also' or 'even,' sometimes used in English legal and academic texts to mean 'furthermore' or 'in addition.'
From Latin etiam, combining et (and) + iam (now/already). Used since ancient Rome, it appears in classical texts and survives in formal English writing.
Etiam is a ghost word in English—it haunts legal documents and old academic papers, a reminder that Latin's precision still appeals to lawyers and scholars who want to sound authoritative.
