"Albeit" [pronounced all-bee-it] is a word not often used in English today, but it has a long history.

In Middle English, spoken from around 1150 to about 1500, the phrase was al be, which means "although it may be". At some stage these words were all glued together as albeit, with the same meaning.

An example of its use is: "Albeit that she promised to marry him, she has eloped with someone else".
