Word origin
The word 'gaudily' is derived from the adjective 'gaudy', which originated in the late 16th century from the Latin word 'gaudium' meaning 'joy'. Over time, 'gaudy' evolved to describe something showy or bright, eventually leading to the adverb 'gaudily' to describe actions or appearances done in a flashy or tasteless manner.
