Etymology
The word 'forcibly' originates from the Latin word 'forcibiles', which is derived from 'forcible', signifying strong force or power. The suffix '-ly' indicates that it is an adverb, changing the adjective 'forcible' into an action word, describing how something is done. In English, the term has evolved to encompass a range of actions, often used in legal, military, and social contexts where an assertion of power or authority is necessary. Since the late Middle Ages, it has been used to describe actions that involve coercion or the use of force, emphasizing the intensity and decisiveness of such actions.
