Etymology of WHENAS

The word "whenas" is a compound conjunction that combines the archaic adverb "when" with the archaic conjunction "as". "When" derives from the Old English word "hwenne", while "as" derives from the Old English word "ealswā", meaning "in the same way" or "just as". Over time, these two words merged to form "whenas", which appeared in Middle English texts around the 14th century.
