Word origin

The adverb 'deservedly' is derived from the verb 'deserve', which comes from the Old French word 'deservir', meaning 'to deserve, earn, be worthy of'. The prefix 'de-' signifies 'completely', 'thoroughly', or 'down to the bottom', and 'servir' means 'to serve'. The concept of deserving or earning something has been a fundamental aspect of human societies throughout history, with the notion of justice and fairness playing a central role in the development of the word.
