Etymology
The term 'electrically' derives from the word 'electric', which comes from the Greek word 'ēlektron', meaning amber, a fossilized tree resin that can generate static electricity when rubbed. The use of 'electric' in the modern sense, relating to phenomena involving electric charge, became popular in the late 19th century during the expansion of electrical technology and science. The suffix '-ally' denotes a manner of action, hence 'electrically' means in a manner relating to or powered by electricity. The understanding and utilization of electricity transformed society, leading to innovations that revolutionized communication, transportation, and industry, reflecting the growing importance of electrical phenomena in everyday life.
