Etymology
The term 'civically' is derived from the root word 'civic,' which comes from the Latin 'civicus,' meaning 'of a citizen.' This Latin term is rooted in 'civis,' meaning 'citizen' or 'inhabitant of a city.' The concept of civics is closely tied to the rights and responsibilities of citizens and their involvement in the governance and community life of a society. The adverbial form '-ly' is added to describe actions related to this concept, emphasizing the manner in which such duties and responsibilities are executed. The usage of 'civically' rose in English during the late 20th century, in the context of civic engagement movements that encouraged individuals to participate in democratic processes and community service activities.
