[Middle English, from other, or (from Old English , from oththe) and from outher (from Old English āhwæther, āther; see either).]
USAGE NOTE When all the elements in a series connected by or are singular, the verb they govern is singular: Tom or Jack is coming. Beer, ale, or wine is included in the charge. When all the elements are plural, the verb is plural. When the elements do not agree in number, some grammarians have suggested that the verb should agree in number with the nearest element: Tom or his sisters are coming. The girls or their brother is coming. Cold symptoms or headache is the usual first sign. Other grammarians, however, have argued that such constructions are inherently illogical and that the only solution is to revise the sentence to avoid the problem of agreement: Either Tom is coming or his sisters are. The usual first sign may be either cold symptoms or a headache. See Usage Notes at and/or, either, neither, nor1.
Archaic.[Middle English, variant of er, from Old English ǣr, soon, early, and from Old Norse ār.]

[Middle English, from Old French, from Latin aurum.]
p or q, commonly written p ∨ q, is that proposition that is true unless both p and q are false. It is sometimes called inclusive disjunction, since it is true when both p and q are true. It is distinguished from exclusive disjunction, which is valued as false unless just one of p, q is true. See also conjunction, disjunction.
