Etymology
From, whence also the Afrikaans doublet. For a possible sense shift from “immediately” to “possibly” compare dialectal from. Note, however, that the Dutch adjective also used to mean “really, actually, indeed” (for which now, ); from this the Afrikaans sense can be derived simply through semantic weakening.
