Usage Examples

Etymology

**aussitôt** (noun/​adverb) comes from the Old French construction *à sîtôt*, literally “at that early moment.” It is a contraction of *à* + *si tôt*, where *tôt* is the Old French word for “early” derived from Latin *tempus* (time). Over time the phrase was assimilated and shortened into the single word *aussitôt*, now meaning “immediately, right away.”
