"WHY"....from old english "hwi", instrumental case (showing for what purpose or by what means) of "hwæt" (what), from proto germanic "khwi" , from proto indo european *qwei, locative of *qwo- "who". These uses go back thousands of years. It's use as an interjection of surprise or to call attention to a statement was recorded from 1519.

Why can't why be why? Why would you want why to be anything other than why? Why can't you be why? Why, because you can't be why, because why is why, and why not? Why the HE!! did I do all of this?... Why ask why, thats why?
