Definitions and meaning of albeit

albeit

Etymology

From the Middle English expression al be it (that), itself shortened from althagh it be that (“although it be that”), and thus composed from al (“completely, entirely”) +‎ be (3rd person singular present subjunctive of been (“to be”)) +‎ it.

Pronunciation

  • (Received Pronunciation) IPA(key): /ɔːlˈbiː.ɪt/
  • (General American) IPA(key): /ɔlˈbi.ət/
  • (cot–caught merger) IPA(key): /ɑlˈbi.ɪt/
  • Hyphenation: al‧be‧it

Conjunction

albeit

  1. Although, despite (it) being.
    Synonyms: as much as, though; see also Thesaurus:even though

Usage notes

  • The word albeit historically also introduced an independent clause as although does (as in the Shakespearean quote above); however after the Early Modern English period, it ceased to do so, and today only introduces a noun phrase, adjectival phrase, adverbial phrase, or dependent clause.
  • Rarely, albethey is used when the meaning is “despite (the multiple things) being” rather than “despite (the single thing) being”; this is nonstandard, based on a reanalysis of albeit.

Alternative forms
