Origin

Old English efen (adjective), efne (adverb), of Germanic origin; related to Dutch even, effen and German eben.

In the sense ‘flat and smooth’, even is an Old English word. Even as in evening (Old English) is from a different Old English word, one related to German Abend ‘afternoon’. An even break, meaning ‘a fair chance’, was popularized by the American comedian W. C. Fields (1886–1946) in his catchphrase, ‘Never give a sucker an even break’, which itself went on to become the title of one of his best-known films. There does not seem to have been a real Stephen behind the phrase even Stephen or even Stephens, meaning ‘completely even or equal’. It probably comes from Journal to Stella by Jonathan Swift: ‘Now we are even, quoth Stephen’ (1711). If a ship is on an even keel it is not tilting to the side. The keel is the supporting structure along the base of a ship; even here it is in the old sense ‘in a level position, horizontal’.
