Definition of undefined

The word "himself" originates from Old English, which was spoken in England from the 5th to the 11th centuries. In Old English, the reflexive pronoun for the third person masculine singular (i.e., "he") was "hēmself", which is composed of two parts: "hēm" (the accusative form of "he") and "self" (meaning "one's own"). In Middle English (spoken from the 11th to the 15th centuries), the spelling evolved to "himself", and its meaning remained the same: to refer to someone (usually a man) as the object of an action, using himself as the subject. For example: "He himself did the task." Over time, the word "himself" has become a standard part of the English language, used in various contexts to indicate self-reference, emphasis, or clarity.
