Etymology of AM CONTINGENT

The phrase "am contingent" is not widely recognized as a standalone phrase in English. It appears to be a combination of two separate words, "am" and "contingent". Let's look at the etymology of each:

1. Am: "Am" is the first-person singular present tense of the verb "be" in English. It is derived from the Old English word "eom".

2. Contingent: The word "contingent" in English originated from the Latin word "contingere", meaning "to touch" or "to happen". Over time, it evolved into Middle English as "contingent", with the same basic sense of "accidental" or "dependent on circumstances".

However, it's important to note that combining the two words to form "am contingent" doesn't yield a well-established phrase or term.
