Word origin
The word 'encouragingly' is derived from the verb 'encourage', which comes from the Old French word 'encoragier', meaning 'make strong, hearten'. The prefix 'en-' means 'to make' and 'corage' comes from the Latin 'cor', meaning 'heart'. Over time, 'encourage' evolved into 'encouragingly' to describe the manner in which something is done in a positive and supportive way.
