Etymology
The word 'desirously' is derived from the adjective 'desirous', which traces its roots to the Latin word 'desiderare', meaning 'to long for or wish for'. The formation of 'desirous' as an adjective in Middle English in the 14th century, then transitioned to the adverbial form 'desirously'. Over time, it has evolved to express the manner in which an action is performed, emphasizing the emotional state of wanting or longing. This transformation signifies not just a basic desire but a deep-seated yearn that drives actions and expressions.
