The word "same" traces back to Old English sama, derived from Proto-Germanic samaz, meaning "same" or "together." This root is further linked to Proto-Indo-European sem-, conveying notions of unity or oneness. Over time, sama evolved into Middle English same, retaining its core meaning of identity or lack of difference. The word's stability across centuries reflects its fundamental role in expressing equality and consistency.
