Where this word comes from
From Middle High German einander, from Old High German compound of ein (“one”) + andar (“other”, modern German ander). Semantically limited by the ein (“one”) to singular contexts, similar to one another or each other. The combined form einander does not inflect in modern German, and may be used unchanged in dative and accusative grammatical cases. Older forms could show inflection on the second ander portion, or on both the ein and ander portions. Any prepositions, which grammatically and semantically would apply to the second ander portion of the word, were already appearing in front of the compound term in Old High German, and in New High German (i.e., modern German), prepositions are compounded onto the front of the term.
