Word origin
The word 'candidly' comes from the Latin word 'candidus', which means white or bright. In ancient Rome, white clothing was worn by candidates seeking office, symbolizing purity and honesty. Over time, 'candidus' evolved to 'candidly' in English, retaining its sense of openness and honesty.
