From A to Izzard is an old phrase similar to our present day “From A to Z”. In the 1750s the letter z had three different pronunciations depending if you were British, Scottish or American. If you were from Britain, Z was pronounced “zed.” In Scotland they said “ezed,” and in America it was called “zee.”
In 1755, English lexicographer Samuel Johnson was working on explaining the sound of the letter z. In his classic Dictionary of the English Language, Samuel used the word “izzard” to better explain how to pronounce z.
It was from this 250-year-old explanation that the phrase from “A to izzard” was started. It means from beginning to end, or from a to z.
