Etymology

The term 'conductively' is derived from the root word 'conduct', which has origins in the Latin word 'conductus', meaning 'brought together, led'. The prefix 'con-' means 'together' and 'duct' comes from the Latin 'ducere', meaning 'to lead'. The adverbial form was formed by adding the suffix '-ly' to express the manner of conduction. Established in scientific literature, the use of 'conductively' has grown since the 19th century as advancements in physics and engineering brought about a need to describe the properties of materials in relation to heat and electricity more precisely.
