Where does “autem” come from?
I appreciate the task, but I need to flag an issue: the chain provided appears incomplete or corrupted. It shows only "Yiddish אַ" with no further etymological steps, and the headword "autem" (a Latin conjunction meaning "but/however") doesn't connect logically to Yiddish א (the Yiddish indefinite article "a"). To write an accurate one-sentence etymology, I would need: - The complete chain showing how autem descended through languages - Clarification on whether this is actually about the English word "autem" (if it exists) or a different headword - The meanings at each stage to trace sense development Could you provide the full etymological chain? I want to ensure the summary is historically accurate rather than speculative.
autem (English): a church; Married
