ALTHOUGH

altho'. Obs. verb, or used only in the Imperative. Grant all this; be it so; allow all; suppose that; admit all that; as, "although the fig tree shall not blossom. " Habakkuk 3:17. That is, grant, admit or suppose what follows - "the fig tree shall not blossom. " It is a transitive verb, and admits after it the definitive that - although that the fig tree shall not blossom; but this use of the verb, has been long obsolete. The word may be defined by notwithstanding, non obstante; as not opposing may be equivalent to admitting or supposing.

New American Oxford Dictionary

although

al though |ôlˈT͟Hō ɔlˈðoʊ | ▶conjunction in spite of the fact that; even though: although the sun was shining it wasn't that warm | although small, the room has a spacious feel. • however; but: he says he has the team jersey, although I've never seen him wear it. ORIGIN Middle English: from all (as an adverb ) + though . usage: Although and though are interchangeable in the senses listed above, the only difference being that use of though tends to be less formal than that of although. In formal writing, although tends to sound better than though as the opening word of a sentence. Some uses of though, however, are not interchangeable with although —e.g., adverbial uses ( it was nice of him to phone, though ) and uses in conjunction with ‘as ’ or ‘even ’ ( she doesn't look as though she's listening ).
