Etymology
The word 'crazily' originates from the adjective 'crazy,' which comes from the Middle English word 'crazie' or 'crazy,' meaning 'demented' or 'insane.' This, in turn, traces back to the word 'crazy' in a sense of being frail or broken, related to the old word 'craze,' which meant to break or shatter. Over time, 'crazy' evolved to describe someone behaving in a manner that is irrational or extreme. The transformation from a description of physical quality to one describing mental state occurred in the 18th century. The adverbial form 'crazily' emerged in the 20th century to indicate the manner of such actions, making it a versatile term used in various contexts to denote extreme behavior or attitudes.
