Everywhen

/ˌɛvəriˈwɛn/ adverb

Definition

At all times; whenever possible; at every moment in time.

Etymology

Compound of 'every' and 'when' (Old English 'hwænne'). Part of an older pattern where 'every' combined with interrogative adverbs to create universal distributives.

Kelly Says

Science fiction writers sometimes revive 'everywhen' to describe something happening across all timelines—it's a great example of how obscure old words resurface when modern language needs them!
