Etymology

The word 'algorithmically' is derived from the word 'algorithm', which originated from the name of the Persian mathematician Al-Khwarizmi. The concept of algorithms has been around for centuries, but the term itself gained popularity in the context of computer science and mathematics in the 20th century. The adverb 'algorithmically' emerged as a natural extension of this terminology to describe processes or actions that are based on algorithms.
