Etymology
The word "me" originates from Old English "mē," the dative and accusative form of the first-person singular pronoun "ic" (I). It has remained remarkably stable in form and function across centuries, retaining its role as the object pronoun in Modern English. Its simplicity reflects its core function in language—representing the self in relation to actions directed toward the speaker.
