Word origin
The adverb 'argumentatively' is derived from the word 'argumentative,' which originated in the late 18th century from the Latin word 'argumentum,' meaning 'proof' or 'evidence.' The suffix '-ive' was added to form the adjective 'argumentative,' and later, the adverb 'argumentatively' was formed by adding the suffix '-ly.' The word has been used in English to describe the manner in which individuals engage in discussions or debates by presenting and supporting their positions with reasons.
