Etymology

The adverb 'astringently' is derived from the adjective 'astringent,' which comes from the Latin word 'astringentem,' meaning 'to bind fast.' The term originally referred to substances that cause contraction of body tissues, but its figurative use to describe sharp or biting remarks emerged over time.
