Etymology
The word "our" originates from Old English ūre, the genitive (possessive) form of we ("we"). It is part of the Germanic language family's core pronoun system, shared across related languages (e.g., German unser, Dutch onze). Unlike compound words, "our" is monomorphic—its spelling and meaning have remained intact since Old English without additional morphemes.
