Word of the Day - nevertheless

nevertheless

/nɛvəðəˈlɛs/
adverb
In spite of that; notwithstanding; all the same.

Origin
early
14c., neuer þe lesse; as one word from mid-14c., neuerþeles. The sense
of never here is "not at all; none the," as in unmerged expressions such
as never the wiser, never the worse. In the same sense Middle English
also had never-less (early 14c.), neverthelater (c. 1200), never-later
(late 14c.).

If it's all the same to you,
I decline to sit here, blue.
Nevertheless, before I digress,
With my big words, I hope to impress.

Here, it's a Friday morning
Which arrived after a week's warning
Another good day for a word,
And, at least, it's one you have heard.
