+ '''iedereen''' (genitive ''iedereens'')^(Wiktionary)
+
+ ==Etymology==
+ It is a compound [[af|nl|ieder|een|t1=each|t2=one]], formed in the early 17th century, like [[elkeen]], formed from [[elk]] and the same numeral.^(EWN)^(ANW)^(WNT) The phrase ⟨een ieder⟩ “each one” was usual at the same time and is still used.^(EWN)^(Franck & Van Wijk 1912)
+
+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==
+ The first record is from 1602, ''yedereen van onsluyden'', “each one of us”, followed in 1610 by ''yeder een, die is in Konst leergierigh'', “everyone who is eager to learn in the art”.^(EWN) The WNT's earliest quotation is from 1614, and Van der Sijs gives 1636.^(WNT)^(Van der Sijs 2001)
+
+ ==Semantic evolution==
+ ''Iedereen'' began as a strengthened form of ''ieder'' and became the everyday word for “everybody”, beside the more formal ''een ieder''.^(WNT)^(EWN) The saying ''jij bent iedereen niet'', “you are not just anybody”, is recorded in 1782.^(WNT)^(Van Dale 2014) Negerhollands took the word over as ''idereen''.^(Van der Sijs 2010)
