Etymology
The term 'celestially' is derived from the root word 'celestial', which originates from the Latin word 'caelestis', meaning 'heavenly' or 'of the sky'. The Latin word is itself derived from 'caelum', meaning 'sky' or 'heaven'. The evolution of the word reflects humanity's fascination with the heavens and celestial bodies, often attributing divine qualities to them. In English, the usage of 'celestial' dates back to the late 14th century. The adverbial form 'celestially' began to see use in the 19th century, extending the meaning of 'celestial' into nuanced descriptions of experiences or phenomena that evoke a sense of the heavenly or divine. This transformation in usage underscores the interplay between the physical cosmos and its metaphorical implications in literature and speech.
