Etymology
The word 'affordably' is a derivative of the verb 'afford', which originated from the combination of Old English words 'ge-' (prefix indicating completeness) and 'forðian' (to further, accomplish). Over time, 'afford' evolved to mean 'to be able to do something without financial stress' and 'affordably' was derived to describe doing something in a reasonably priced or financially manageable way.
