Etymology

The word 'clerically' is derived from 'clerical', which traces back to the Latin word 'clericalis', meaning 'of a clerk'. Originally, it referred to individuals in the service of the church, who were tasked with writing and maintaining records. As the responsibilities of clerks expanded, especially during the rise of bureaucratic institutions in the Middle Ages, 'clerical' came to denote any office-related tasks. The adverb form 'clerically' developed to describe the manner in which these clerical tasks are executed. Over time, the term has transcended its religious origins and is now widely used in both public and private sectors to describe various administrative functions.
