Etymology of YERSELF

The word "yerself" is an informal variant of the reflexive pronoun "yourself" in Scottish English and some other dialects. It has its roots in Middle English and Old English.

In Middle English, the pronoun "ye" was used to refer to the second person plural or as a polite form for the second person singular. The reflexive form of "ye" was "yourselven" or "yourself". Over time, phonetic changes and the evolution of the language led to the contraction of "yourselven" to "yersel" or "yerself".

The Old English equivalent of "yourself" was "eów-self", which also contributed to the development of "yerself". Both Middle English and Old English were West Germanic languages, and their influences shaped the formation and usage of "yerself" and its variants in Scottish English and related dialects.
