What is the origin of phrase your

The phrase "your" is not a phrase, but a possessive adjective. It's a word that indicates ownership or belonging. It comes from the Old English word "eower," which also meant "your."

Here's a breakdown of its history:

* Old English (around 450-1150 AD): "eower"

* Middle English (around 1150-1500 AD): "your"

* Modern English (around 1500 to present): "your"

The word "your" has evolved over time, but its core meaning of possession has remained consistent.
