Etymology

The word 'emptily' is derived from the adjective 'empty', which comes from the Old English word 'รฆmรพe', meaning 'lacking contents'. The 'ly' suffix is added to denote the adverbial form, indicating the manner in which something is done. This construction is common in English to transform adjectives into adverbs. Over time, the usage of 'emptily' has evolved to convey not only a literal lack of physical contents but also figurative meanings related to emotional or purposeful voids.
