Almighty

Where it comes from

Origin disputed — possibly from shadad, to overpower, possibly from shad, breast, the one who nourishes. The King James settles on Almighty. It appears here for the first time, spoken to a man of ninety-nine.

Genesis 17:1

And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.
