A misspelling of 'until', meaning up to the point in time or up to the point that something happens. The correct spelling has only one 'l'.
This represents a common misspelling influenced by words like 'till' and 'will'. The correct 'until' comes from Old Norse 'und' (up to) plus 'til' (to), forming a compound meaning 'up to'.
This spelling error reveals how our brains process language patterns - seeing 'till' and 'will' with double letters, many writers unconsciously add an extra 'l' to 'until'. It's a perfect example of how analogy-based spelling can lead us astray, even though 'until' is actually the original form and 'till' is the shortened version.
