utter etymology

Etymology (Origin):

• "Utter" comes from the Middle English word "utren," which itself derives from the Old English word "ūtern."

Meaning:

• To speak or pronounce words loudly and distinctly.
• To reveal or disclose something.

Origin:

• The Old English word "ūtern" likely came from the Proto-Germanic word *uztran-, meaning "outward" or "beyond." This suggests that the original sense of "utter" was "to speak something out."
• Over time, the meaning of "utter" evolved to include the idea of revealing or disclosing something, as it was considered to be an "outward" expression of an inward thought or feeling.

Examples of Usage:

• "She uttered a few words in a trembling voice."
• "He decided to utter the truth, no matter the consequences."
• "The secret was finally uttered, much to the relief of those present."
