What does the word albeit means in English?

"Albeit" means although or even though. It's used to introduce a statement that contrasts with or qualifies the preceding statement.

Here are some examples:

* The movie was entertaining, albeit a bit predictable. (The movie was entertaining, even though it was a bit predictable.)

* The weather was cold, albeit sunny. (The weather was cold, even though it was sunny.)

* She finished the marathon, albeit slowly. (She finished the marathon, even though she did it slowly.)

Essentially, "albeit" acts as a concession, acknowledging a contrasting point while still maintaining the overall meaning of the sentence.
