Etymology of ALGATE

The word "Algate" is an archaic term derived from the Middle English phrase "on gate". "Algate" was used in Old and Middle English to mean "always" or "continually". The word is a combination of the Old English prefixes "eall" (meaning "all") and "ge-" (meaning "completed or enclosed action"). Over time, "on gate" evolved into "algate", as a contraction of the phrase for convenience. It is still occasionally used in certain dialects or regional speech, particularly in Scotland and parts of Northern England.
