Etymology

The word 'blindly' originates from the Middle English term 'blinde', which means unable to see, and the adverbial ending '-ly' that has been used to form adverbs in English. The concept of blindness in this context extends beyond physical incapacity to see; it conveys a figurative sense of lacking awareness or discernment. Historically, the word has been used in various literary works to depict characters or decisions made without foresight or consideration. The evolution of the word has allowed it to encapsulate both the literal meaning related to sight and the metaphorical implications of ignorance or unquestioning adherence in modern usage.
