Related words それでも それでも is a more common and direct 'but still' or 'even so', while それにつけても is a slightly more formal or literary set phrase that often introduces a reflective or additional comment.
とはいえ とはいえ is similar in meaning ('having said that'), but それにつけても carries a nuance of 'concerning that' or 'in relation to that' and is less common in modern casual speech.
Etymology Derived from それ (that) + に (particle) + つけても (from 付ける, 'attach' or 'relate to'), literally meaning 'even when relating to that'. The exact historical development is uncertain, but it functions as a fixed conjunction-like expression.
