Why is "how often"?
Hello, everyone:
We all know that "how often" is used to ask the frequency of an action.
But, I'm curious why we use "how often," not "how usually" or some other adverb of frequency?
Does anyone have any idea?
Thanks for answering my weird question.

A freak of history; languages are full of them. For that matter, why not 'How much often'?
