Etymology of HIMSELVE

The correct word is "himself", not "himselve".

The word "himself" is derived from the Old English reflexive pronoun "him selfum", which can be broken down into "him" (dative case of "he") and "selfum" (dative case of "self").

The term "self" can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic root *selbaz, meaning "self" or "personal", which is also found in related Germanic languages. It has cognates in Old Norse ("sjálfum"), Old High German ("selbum"), and Gothic ("silban").

Over time, the form of the word evolved from "him selfum" to "himself", and it has been used in English since the Middle Ages.
