Word origin
The word 'civilly' comes from the Middle English 'cyvelly', which is derived from the Old French 'civilement'. It has been used in English since the 14th century, originally meaning 'in a manner befitting a citizen'. Over time, the meaning evolved to include both polite behavior and adherence to societal norms and laws.
