Etymology

The French adverb **où** comes from Latin *ubi* “where”, itself derived from the Proto‑Indo‑European interrogative root *kʷi‑ (question pronoun). In Old French it was written *ou* and remained the same in spelling until the Middle‑French period, when the grave accent was added to distinguish the interrogative form from the conjunction *ou* “or”. Thus, *où* has retained its Latin interrogative sense while gaining a phonetic cue through the accent.
