Word origin

The word 'assortedly' is derived from the adjective 'assorted,' which comes from the verb 'assort.' The verb is formed from the prefix 'as-' combined with 'sort.' The prefix 'as-' is derived from a variation of 'ad-' which indicates direction or addition, while 'sort' originates from Middle English 'sorte,' derived from Old French 'sorte' and Latin 'sortem,' meaning 'fate' or 'lot.' The evolution of 'assortedly' reflects the concept of categorizing or grouping items by type or characteristic, implying a diversity in selection. Over time, it became commonly used in various contexts to express the idea of variety or difference in the arrangement or selection of objects or ideas.
