中古英语 sone,源自古英语 sona “立刻,立即,直接,立即”,源自原始日耳曼语 *sæno(也源自古弗里西亚语 son,古撒克逊语 sana,古高地德语 san,哥特语 suns “很快”)。早期中古英语的意义放松为“在短时间内”(比较 anon, just(adv.))。
Sooner or later“在某个未确定的未来时间,但不可避免”是在1570年代。美国英语Sooner指“俄克拉荷马州本地人”是在1930年(早期指“行动过早的人”,1889年),指的是1889年印第安领地的一部分向美国人开放时,许多潜在的定居者偷偷地进入公共土地并在法定日期和时间之前“更早地”占领了他们的土地。
