The answer
WHILE
What while means
A period of time, or used to contrast two things or actions happening at the same time.
Where the word comes from
From Old English hwīl, meaning "a period of time" or "a space of time," related to Old Saxon hwīl and Old High German hwīla. These Germanic forms likely derive from Proto-Germanic *hwīlō, though the ultimate origin is uncertain. The sense shifted from "a time or duration" to "during the time that" in Middle English, eventually becoming the conjunction we use today.
