The word "each" originated from the Old English term "ǽlc", which was a combination of the pronoun "ēah", meaning "ever" or "always", and the suffix "-þ", indicating a definite article. Over time, "ǽlc" evolved into "each" in Middle English, maintaining its core meaning of "every one" or "every individual". The phrase "to each" is formed by combining the preposition "to" with "each", indicating that something is distributed or given individually to every person or thing.
