From the Middle English expression al be it (that), itself shortened from althagh it be that (“although it be that”), and thus composed from al (“completely, entirely”) + be (3rd person singular present subjunctive of been (“to be”)) + it.
Unlike 'although', the conjunction is rarely followed by a full clause with a subject and verb; it typically introduces an adjectival, adverbial, or prepositional phrase.
