Etymology

The word 'carnally' has its origins in the Latin word 'carnalis', which means 'of the flesh'. This is derived from 'caro', meaning 'flesh'. The term has been present in the English language since the Middle Ages, often used in religious texts to contrast the spiritual with the physical. Over time, 'carnally' specifically began to refer to sexual desires and physical pleasures, becoming more prominent in literature and philosophical discourse that explores human nature and the implications of physical existence. The evolution of the word reflects societal attitudes towards the body and sexuality, indicating a complex relationship between physical desires and moral or spiritual considerations.
