Word origin
The word 'clearly' originated from the Middle English word 'clerli', which meant 'brightly, distinctly'. It is derived from the Old French word 'cler' and the Latin word 'clarus', both meaning 'clear, bright'. The adverb 'clearly' has been used in the English language since the 14th century, evolving over time to convey the sense of transparency, certainty, and easy understanding.
