+ ==Forms==

+ '''insbesondere'''^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is the phrase “in das besondere” written as one word, [[af|de|ins|Besondere|t2=the particular]].^(Wiktionary)^(Paul 2002)^(DWB|10, 2138) The Grimms' dictionary mentions the view that it imitates [[fr|en particulier]].^(DWB|10, 2138) It replaced the older [[insonderheit]] and [[m|de|insonders]], and the form of its first part follows older formations such as [[insgesamt]] and [[insgemein]].^(Paul 2002)^(DWB|10, 2138)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ Paul's first record is ''insbesondre'' in Gottsched's weekly ''Der Biedermann'' (1728), meaning “above all”.^(Paul 2002) The Grimms' dictionary says the word does not seem to appear in the written language before the 18th century, and quotes Lessing from 1751.^(DWB|10, 2138)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ Adelung (1793) still preferred to write it separately, ''ins besondere'', from the adjective [[besonder]].^(Adelung 1793|2, 1385) Goethe wrote ''in s'besondre'' in the ''West-östlicher Divan''.^(Paul 2002) The short form ''insbesondre'' is still found beside the full one.^(Duden GWDS 1999)^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Timeline==

+ * 1728 – Gottsched uses ''insbesondre''.^(Paul 2002)

+ * 1751 – Lessing uses ''insbesondere''.^(DWB|10, 2138)
