Etymology

The term 'admirably' is derived from the adjective 'admirable,' which comes from the Latin word 'admirabilis,' meaning 'to be wondered at' or 'worthy of admiration.' This Latin term combines the prefix 'ad-' meaning 'to' and 'mirari,' meaning 'to wonder.' The transition to English occurred in the late Middle Ages, with its usage appearing in various texts by the 15th century. The word's application has evolved over time, becoming a description of actions or qualities that inspire approval and respect. It reflects a deep appreciation for someone's abilities or efforts, often used in both formal and informal contexts to highlight excellence.
