How to spell each

What it means: Every single person or thing in a group.

In a sentence: Each child got a balloon at the party. ▶

The part people get wrong

Often misspelled as ech or eatch.

Same family: each one, each other, each time, each day. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.

Where it comes from: “Each” comes from Old English “ælc,” which originally blended the ideas of “ever” and “like,” meaning something like “ever alike” or “always the same one by one.” Over time, it became the short, simple word we use today to talk about individual members of a group.
