Historical Usage

The term "excepting" has been used since the late 14th century, initially as a part of formal legal and religious language to describe exclusions from rules or agreements. Over time, it became more widespread in everyday language, especially in written contexts.

Cultural Nuances

In some cultures, the use of "excepting" reflects a formal or legal tone. It is often used in contracts, agreements, and laws to clarify the exclusion of specific conditions or individuals from a general rule or provision. This distinction highlights the precision and specificity in language necessary for legal documentation.

More Information

"Excepting" is an older form, frequently used in more formal or legal contexts, and often replaces "except" when something is being deliberately excluded. The word indicates exclusion from a category, group, or rule. It’s still common in contracts, conditions, and descriptions where exclusions are specified. While in common speech, "except" is more prevalent, "excepting" still appears in formal writing and law.
