Webster's 1828 Dictionary
How the English word “unto” was understood when the King James Version was still the common Bible of English readers.
UN'TO, preposition
a compound of un, [on, ] and to; of no use in the language, as it expresses no more than to. I do not find it in our mother tongue, nor is it ever used in popular discourse. It is found in writers of former times, but is entirely obsolete.
